Regular Session of 2004

State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committee on Commerce, Consumer Protection and Housing, to which was referred S.B. No. 2209, S.D. 1, entitled:

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this measure is to amend the laws relating to the State Boxing Commission.

Testimony in support of the measure was received from the State Boxing Commission.

This measure updates and conforms the chapter of the Hawaii Revised Statutes relating to the State Boxing Commission to the federally enacted Professional Boxing Safety Act of 1996.

Your Committee has amended the measure by including the position of an "executive officer" to administer licensing laws, rules, and orders on behalf of the Department of Commerce and Consumer Affairs and by making technical, nonsubstantive amendments.

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 intent and purpose of S.B. No. 2209, S.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Third Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 2209, S.D. 2.
