Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say
Speaker, House of Representatives
Twentieth State Legislature
Regular Session of 2000
State of Hawaii

Sir:

     Your Committee on Conference on the disagreeing vote of the
Senate to the amendments proposed by the House of Representatives
in S.B. No. 2779, S.D. 1, H.D. 2, entitled:  

     "A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO STATE ENTERPRISE ZONES," 

having met, and after full and free discussion, has agreed to
recommend and does recommend to the respective Houses the final
passage of this bill in an amended form.

     The purpose of this measure is to expand the enterprise
zones law to include businesses engaged in research, development,
sale, or production of all types of genetically-engineered
medical, agricultural, or maritime biotechnology products,
businesses that repair assisted technology equipment, and call
centers.

     Your Committee has amended this measure to clarify that call
centers would include technical support service for manufacturing
companies, rather than for manufactured products, and to make a
technical amendment.
