Honorable Robert Bunda

Sir:
Your Committee on Conference on the disagreeing vote of the House of Representatives to the amendments proposed by the Senate in H.B. No. 1686, H.D. 1, S.D. 1, entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO THE ISSUANCE OF REVENUE BONDS FOR INTER-ISLAND MARITIME TRANSPORTATION,"
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 bill is to authorize the issuance of special facilities revenue bonds for improvements to harbor facilities for use by Rainbow Island Express Company, Inc., to operate inter-island and intra-island ferry services.
Your Committee on Conference finds that inter-island maritime transportation for passenger service between Oahu, Maui, Lanai, Molokai, and Hawaii is inadequate.
Your Committee on Conference has amended this measure by:
(1) Adding a section specifically appropriating out of the special facilities revenue bond proceeds a sum certain to carry out the purposes of this measure;
(2) Adding a section providing for the lapsing of the unexpended or unencumbered balance of the appropriation on June 30, 2004; and
(3) Accordingly, renumbering the sections of the measure necessitated by the additions of the new sections.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the managers of your Committee on Conference that is attached to this report, your Committee on Conference is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 1686, H.D. 1, S.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Final Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 1686, H.D. 1, S.D. 1, C.D. 1.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the managers:
