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. 2885, H.D. 1, entitled:

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this bill is to protect youth and the general public from exposure to adult entertainment products by requiring individuals and businesses that sell adult entertainment products to display the products separately and obscure them from view.

Hawaii Reserves Inc., and numerous concerned individuals testified in support of this bill.

Your Committee notes that while the term "X-rated," used in the definition of "adult entertainment products" is a commonly used term in the general public, it is not statutorily defined. Your Committee finds that use of a similar term that is already statutorily defined would more easily serve the purpose of this bill and also add to the ease of enforcement of this bill if enacted.

Accordingly, your Committee has amended this measure by:

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. 2885, H.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Third Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 2885, H.D. 2.
