DOT testified in support of this bill. The Airport Concessionaires Committee, Greeters of Hawaii, and Hisaka Stone Goto Yoshida Cosgrove & Ching, Attorneys at Law, A Law Corporation, supported the intent of this measure.
Your Committee has amended this bill by:
(1) Changing its 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 S.B. No. 3080, S.D. 2, H.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Third Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 3080, S.D. 2, H.D. 2.
