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. 293, H.D. 1, S.D. 2, entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO THE FARMERS' MARKET,"
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 an effective venue for agricultural marketing and promotion in Hawaii by appropriating funds to assess the economic feasibility of establishing a world-class farmers' market in Hawaii.
Your Committee on Conference notes that in addition to the marketing benefits for Hawaii's agricultural industry, a world-class farmers' market will allow consumers access to a wide variety of fresh produce in a centralized location. Furthermore, a world-class farmers' market will have the potential to stimulate economic growth by attracting tourists and residents to the site.
Your Committee on Conference has amended this measure by:
(1) Inserting an appropriation amount of $7,000;
(2) Changing the effective date of this bill to July 1, 2003; and
(3) Making technical, nonsubstantive amendments for purposes of style and clarity.
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. 293, H.D. 1, S.D. 2, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Final Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 293, H.D. 1, S.D. 2, C.D. 1.
