State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committee on Economic Development & Business Concerns, to which was referred H.B. No. 2707 entitled:

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this bill is to help preserve Hawaii's scenic beauty by prohibiting advertising on vehicles in public places, or on private property viewable from a public place, if the vehicle is not engaged in its usual business and is being used primarily to display advertisements or business notices.

The Conservation Council for Hawaii, Sierra Club Hawaii Chapter, and Life of the Land testified in support of this bill. The Attorney General and Outdoor Circle provided comments.

As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Economic Development & Business Concerns that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 2707 and recommends that it pass Second Reading and be referred to the Committee on Judiciary.
