State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committee on Tourism, Culture, & International Affairs, to which was referred H.B. No. 2315 entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO THE UNIVERSITY OF HAWAII SCHOOL OF TRAVEL INDUSTRY MANAGEMENT,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose of this bill is to ensure that the School of Travel Industry Management (School) at the University of Hawaii (UH) at Manoa retains its autonomous nature by statutorily establishing the School as separate and independent of any school or college of business administration also established at UH.
The Tourism Liaison and many concerned individuals testified in support of this bill. UH at Manoa and Starwood Hotels and Resorts Worldwide, Hawaii, and French Polynesia opposed this measure.
Your Committee has amended this bill by:
(1) Changing its effective date to January 1, 2112; and
(2) Making technical, nonsubstantive amendments for clarity, consistency, and style.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Tourism, Culture, & International Affairs that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 2315, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 2315, H.D. 1, and be referred to the Committee on Higher Education.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Tourism, Culture, & International Affairs,
