RE: S.B. No. 38
H.D. 2
Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say
Speaker, House of Representatives
Twenty-Second State Legislature
Regular Session of 2003
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committee on Judiciary, to which was referred S.B. No. 38, H.D. 1, entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO THE HAWAII TOURISM AUTHORITY,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose of the bill is to:
(1) Authorize the Hawaii Tourism Authority (HTA) to employ or retain attorneys independent of the Attorney General;
(2) Appropriate money for an integrated market plan by HTA; and
(3) Establish a Hawaii tourism registry for groups of state residents who plan to travel out–of-state.
Your Committee received testimony in support of the measure from the HTA. The Department of the Attorney General opposed the measure.
Your Committee finds that an integrated market plan needs to be developed by HTA.
Your Committee has amended this bill by:
(1) Deleting reference to independent attorneys for the HTA;
(2) Deleting reference to the establishment of a tourism registry for residents traveling out-of-state; and
(3) Making technical and nonsubstantive changes for style and clarity.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Judiciary that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 38, H.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it be referred to the Committee on Finance in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 38, H.D. 2.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Judiciary,
