Twenty-Third State Legislature

Regular Session of 2005

State of Hawaii

Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-Third State Legislature

Regular Session of 2005

State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committee on Conference on the disagreeing vote of the Senate to the amendments proposed by the House of Representatives in S.B. No. 121, H.D. 1, entitled:

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO BREWPUB LICENSES,"

having met, and after full and free discussion, has agreed to recommend and does recommend to the respective Houses the final passage of this bill in an amended form.

The purpose of this measure is to allow brewpubs to sell malt beverages in recyclable containers.

Specifically, this measure would allow the sale of malt beverages manufactured on the licensee's premises to consumers in recyclable containers, rather than limiting such sales to glass containers only.

Your Committee on Conference has amended this measure by:

(1) Authorizing brewpub licensees to sell malt beverages manufactured on the licensee's premises in brewery-sealed containers to Class 2 restaurant licensees; and

(2) Making the measure effective upon its approval.

As affirmed by the record of votes of the managers of your Committee on Conference that is attached to this report, your Committee on Conference is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 121, H.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Final Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 121, H.D. 1, C.D. 1.

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the managers:

ON THE PART OF THE HOUSE

ON THE PART OF THE SENATE
