Honorable Robert Bunda

President of the Senate

Twenty-Third State Legislature

Regular Session of 2006

State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committee on Judiciary and Hawaiian Affairs, to which was referred S.B. No. 2213, S.D. 1, entitled:

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this measure is to make effective a minor's waiver of liability for injuries resulting from the use of motorsports facilities, and to create a qualified immunity for public entities and public employees for any such injuries.

Your Committee received testimony in opposition to this measure from the Consumer Lawyers of Hawaii.

Your Committee finds that, based upon the concerns raised by Hawaii Consumers Lawyers, the language of this measure as written may be overly broad, and that its effective date should be extended to ensure it is given proper consideration.

Your Committee has amended this measure by extending its effective date to July 1, 2050.

As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Judiciary and Hawaiian Affairs that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 2213, S.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Third Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 2213, S.D. 2.
