                                   RE:  S.B. No. 2306
                                        S.D. 1




Honorable Norman Mizuguchi
President of the Senate
Twentieth State Legislature
Regular Session of 2000
State of Hawaii

Sir:

     Your Committee on Transportation and Intergovernmental
Affairs, to which was referred S.B. No. 2306 entitled: 

     "A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO MOTOR CARRIERS,"

begs leave to report as follows:

     The purpose of this measure is to specify factors that the
public utilities commission must consider in whether to grant a
certificate of public convenience and necessity, and makes
unauthorized activity grounds for denying subsequent
applications.

     Testimony in support of this measure was received from E Noa
Corporation, a Hawaii motor carrier.  The public utilities
commission opposed the measure.

     Upon consideration of all pertinent issues and testimony
presented, your Committee finds that this measure will clarify
the factors to be considered by the public utilities commission
in granting a certificate of public convenience.
    
     Your Committee has amended this measure by making a
technical, nonsubstantive change.

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your
Committee on Transportation and Intergovernmental Affairs that is
attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the
intent and purpose of S.B. No. 2306, as amended herein, and
recommends that it pass Second Reading in the form attached
