RE: H.B. No. 2291
H.D. 2
Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say
Speaker, House of Representatives
Twenty-Second State Legislature
Regular Session of 2004
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committee on Finance, to which was referred H.B. No. 2291, H.D. 1, entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO TRANSPORTATION,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose of this bill is to provide further economic relief to airport concessionaires still suffering from the effects of September 11, 2001, by:
(1) Providing retroactive relief for previously qualified airport concessionaires who have not negotiated relief with the Department of Transportation (DOT) and whose gross receipts are still reduced by fifteen percent or more when compared to pre-September 11, 2001, gross receipts; and
(2) Helping ensure that DOT as a landlord treats all of its airport tenants fairly and does not provide benefits to some tenants while not providing similar benefits to other tenants.
The Airport Concessionaires Committee and Greeters of Hawaii testified in support of this bill. The Department of the Attorney General, DOT, and Airlines Committee of Hawaii testified in opposition of this measure.
Your Committee has amended this bill by:
(1) Changing the effective date to July 1, 2010, to facilitate further discussion; and
(2) Making technical, nonsubstantive amendments for clarity, consistency, and style.
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. 2291, H.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Third Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 2291, H.D. 2.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Finance,
