Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say
Speaker, House of Representatives
Twenty-Third State Legislature
Regular Session of 2006
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committee on Judiciary, to which was referred H.B. No. 1833 entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO FIREWORKS,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose of this bill is to allow the counties more flexibility in processing fireworks permits by authorizing counties to appoint designees to issue fireworks permits.
The Hawaii County Fire Department, Legislative Information Services of Hawaii, T.H.Y. & Associates, Inc., and several concerned individuals testified in support of this bill. The Hawaii Food Industry Association supported the intent of this measure.
Your Committee has amended this bill by:
(1) Prohibiting designees authorized by the county to issue fireworks permits from selling fireworks for permits issued at the same location;
(2) Changing the effective date to August 1, 2096, to encourage further discussion; and
(3) Making technical, nonsubstantive amendments for style, clarity, and consistency.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Judiciary that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 1833, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 1833, H.D. 1, and be referred to the Committee on Finance.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Judiciary,
