State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committee on Finance, to which was referred H.B. No. 1465, H.D. 1, entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO INTOXICATING LIQUOR,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose of this bill is to make it more convenient for Hawaii consumers to purchase wine by:
(1) Clarifying that unlicensed adults are not required to obtain a permit to receive shipments of liquor pursuant to the reciprocal shipping privilege; and
(2) Increasing the number of cases of wine that may be shipped from two to ten per year.
The Wine Institute testified in support of this measure. The Hawaii Food Industry Association opposed this measure.
Your Committee has amended this bill by:
(1) Changing the number of cases of wine that may be shipped to a blank amount; and
(2) Making technical, nonsubstantive amendments for purposes of style and clarity.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Finance that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 1465, H.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Third Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 1465, H.D. 2.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Finance,
