Honorable Robert Bunda

President of the Senate

Twenty-First State Legislature

Regular Session of 2002

State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committee on Commerce, Consumer Protection and Housing, to which was referred S.B. No. 313 entitled:

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this short form measure is to amend the laws relating to boards and commissions.

Your Committee has amended this measure by replacing its contents with language that repeals the June 30, 2002, sunset date of Act 332, Session Laws of Hawaii 1993 (Regular Session). This Act authorized the establishment of the Air Carriers Commission to assist in the regulation of interisland air carriers. Repeal of the sunset provision is necessary to ensure the continuing viability of the law authorizing the commission's establishment.

As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Commerce, Consumer Protection and Housing that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the action to report out S.B. No. 313, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 313, S.D. 1, and be recommitted to the Committee on Commerce, Consumer Protection and Housing for further consideration.
