                                   RE:  S.B. No. 2925
                                        




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

Sir:

     Your Committee on Judiciary, to which was referred S.B. No.
2925 entitled:

     "A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO THE FUEL TAX,"

begs leave to report as follows:

     The purpose of this bill is to repeal the requirement in the
fuel tax law that liquid fuel distributors report the number of
gallons imported into each county per month.

     Your Committee finds that the information is not needed by
the Department of Taxation and is therefore unnecessarily
burdensome upon the industry.

     Your Committee believes that this bill is an excellent
example of just one of the many ways, both small and large, that
are often overlooked, by which Hawaii's regulatory climate can be
improved.

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your
Committee on Judiciary that is attached to this report, your
Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No.
2925 and recommends that it pass Third Reading.
