Your Committee on Conference on the disagreeing vote of the House of Representatives to the amendments proposed by the Senate in H.B. No. 2527, S.D. 1, entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO SAFETY INSPECTION FREQUENCIES FOR REGULATED EQUIPMENT,"
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 provide for increased public safety. Specifically, this bill:

Your Committee on Conference has amended this measure by:
(1) Clarifying statutory language by removing the effective date of July 1, 2000, from section
397-4(a)(6)(D), Hawaii Revised Statutes; and
(2) Making technical, nonsubstantive amendments for purposes of clarity, consistency, and style.
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. 2527, S.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Final Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 2527, S.D. 1, C.D. 1.
