STAND. COM. REP. 2066
Honolulu, Hawaii
, 2004
RE: S.B. No. 2914
S.D. 1
Honorable Robert Bunda
President of the Senate
Twenty-Second State Legislature
Regular Session of 2004
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committee on Transportation, Military Affairs, and Government Operations, to which was referred S.B. No. 2914 entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO CIVIL DEFENSE SIRENS,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose of this measure is to exempt the construction, installation, maintenance, repair, and replacement of civil defense warning or signal devices and sirens from the coastal zone management law.
Testimony in support of this measure was received from the state Department of Defense and Oahu Civil Defense Agency.
The intent of this measure is to expedite the placement and maintenance of the warning signals which are critical to warning the public of potentially dangerous events. Compliance with the coastal zone management law causes delays in the permitting process.
Your Committee has amended this measure by making technical, nonsubstantive amendments.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Transportation, Military Affairs, and Government Operations that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 2914, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 2914, S.D. 1, and be referred to the Committee on Ways and Means.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Transportation, Military Affairs, and Government Operations,
____________________________ CAL KAWAMOTO, Chair |
