                                   RE:  S.B. No. 3051
                                        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. 3051 entitled: 

     "A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO LIQUOR EXPORT,"

begs leave to report as follows:

     The purpose of this measure is to clarify the ability of
producers of locally made Hawaiian wines, spirits, and champagnes
to export them.

     Testimony in support of this measure was received from the
Volcano Winery.

     Your Committee finds that this measure will allow the export
of locally made wines, spirits, and champagnes, which will
increase the local businesses producing these items.

     Your Committee has amended this measure by changing the word
"mailed" to "shipped", because it is against federal law to mail
alcohol, but shipping alcohol through businesses such as Federal
Express or UPS would be allowed.

     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. 3051, as amended herein, and
recommends that it pass Second Reading in the form attached
hereto as S.B. No. 3051, S.D. 1, and be referred to the Committee
on Judiciary.
