Regular Session of 2006

State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committee on Judiciary and Hawaiian Affairs, to which was referred S.B. No. 2667, S.D. 1, entitled:

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this measure is to clarify fireworks terminology to be consistent with federal law and to repeal and amend various definitions.

Testimony in support of this measure was submitted by the State Fire Council, the Kauai Fire Department, the County of Hawaii, and Legislative Information Services of Hawaii.

Your Committee finds, based upon testimony from the State Fire Council and Legislative Information Services of Hawaii that the term "consumer fireworks" was inadvertently removed from the current draft of this measure. Your Committee has amended this measure to reinsert the term "consumer fireworks".

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. 2667, S.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Third Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 2667, S.D. 2.
