Your Committees on Consumer Protection & Commerce and Judiciary, to which was referred H.B. No. 311 entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO LIQUOR,"
beg leave to report as follows:
The purpose of this bill is to improve liquor regulation by making various administrative and technical amendments to the liquor license and liquor tax laws.
The City and County of Honolulu Liquor Commission and the Departments of Liquor Control for the counties of Hawaii, Kauai, and Maui testified in support of this bill. The Department of Taxation submitted comments.
