State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committee on Ways and Means, to which was referred H.B. No. 1923, H.D. 1, S.D. 1, entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO THE HAWAII TOURISM AUTHORITY,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose of this measure is to make permanent the Hawaii Tourism Authority's ability to hire its own attorney for specialized services, supervise its own fiscal accounts, appoint a sports coordinator, and expend up to five per cent of special fund moneys for administration.
Upon consideration, your Committee amended this measure by:
(1) Deleting its contents and inserting S.B. No. 2974, S.D. 1, in its place. As amended, this measure extends, until June 30, 2011, the existing sunset of part I of Act 58, Session Laws of Hawaii 2004, that now allows the Authority to hire its own attorney for specialized services, supervise its own fiscal accounts, appoint a sports coordinator, and expend up to five per cent of special fund moneys for administration;
(2) Making technical amendments to correct the reenactment language relating to sections 40-1, 40-4, and 40-6, Hawaii Revised Statutes; and
(3) Changing the effective date of this measure to July 1, 2050, to allow further discussion on this measure.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Ways and Means that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 1923, H.D. 1, S.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Third Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 1923, H.D. 1, S.D. 2.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Ways and Means,
