Honorable Colleen Hanabusa

Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say
Speaker, House of Representatives
Twenty-Fifth State Legislature
Regular Session of 2009
State of Hawaii
Madam and Sir:
Your Committee on Conference on the disagreeing vote of the Senate to the amendments proposed by the House of Representatives in S.B. No. 1263, S.D. 2, H.D. 3, entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO TATTOO ARTISTS,"
having met, and after full and free discussion, has agreed to recommend and does recommend to the respective Houses the final passage of this bill in an amended form.
The purpose of this measure is to protect public health and safety by updating the current statutes regarding permanent and temporary licensure for tattoo artists and permits for tattoo shops.
Specifically, this measure:
(1) Requires a permit to be issued by the Department of Health for the operation of a tattoo shops and temporary locations where tattooing is performed;
(2) Authorizes the Department of Health to issue temporary permits to tattoo artists not licensed in the State for educational, trade show, or product demonstration purposes;
(3) Clarifies licensure and application requirements;
(4) Amends enforcement and penalty provisions; and
(5) Repeals provisions relating to facial tattoos.
Your Committee on Conference finds that tattooing has become increasingly popular in the past several years, particularly with the younger population. The statutes regulating tattoo artists and tattoo shops operating in the State have not been updated since 1981.
Your Committee on Conference has amended this measure by:
(1) Inserting language clarifying that in addition to educational, trade show, or product demonstration purposes, the issuance of temporary licenses to tattoo artists who are not licensed in the State may be for the purpose of practicing the occupation of tattoo artist at a permitted tattoo location; and
(2) Changing the effective date to "upon approval".
As affirmed by the record of votes of the managers of your Committee on Conference that is attached to this report, your Committee on Conference is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 1263, S.D. 2, H.D. 3, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Final Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 1263, S.D. 2, H.D. 3, C.D. 1.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the managers:
