STAND. COM. REP. NO. 1286
Honolulu, Hawaii
RE: S.C.R. No. 111
S.D. 1
Honorable Shan S. Tsutsui
President of the Senate
Twenty-Sixth State Legislature
Regular Session of 2011
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committee on Ways and Means, to which was referred S.C.R. No. 111, S.D. 1, entitled:
"SENATE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION REQUESTING THE AUDITOR TO CONDUCT A SUNRISE REVIEW OF THE REGULATION OF LARGE-SCALE DOG BREEDERS AND DOG BREEDING FACILITIES,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose and intent of this measure is to request the Auditor to conduct a sunrise review of the regulation of large-scale dog breeders and dog breeding facilities, as proposed under S.B. No. 1522, S.D. 2, H.D. 1 (2011), including an assessment of alternative forms of regulation.
Your Committee received written comments in support of this measure from Jo Ann Uchida, Regulated Industries Complaints Office, Department of Commerce and Consumer Affairs; Celia Suzuki, Licensing Administrator of the Professional and Vocational Licensing Division, Department of Commerce and Consumer Affairs; and Pamela Burns, President and CEO, Hawaiian Humane Society.
Your Committee finds that S.B. No. 1522, S.D. 2, H.D. 1 (2011), proposes to regulate large-scale dog breeders and dog breeding facilities, which are presently unregulated. Section 26H-6, Hawaii Revised Statutes, requires the Auditor to review proposals to regulate professions, vocations, or occupations that are currently unregulated to determine the probable effects of such regulation and to assess alternative forms of regulation. This measure conforms to the procedural requirements required by law.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Ways and Means that is attached to this report, your Committee concurs with the intent and purpose of S.C.R. No. 111, S.D. 1, and recommends its adoption.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Ways and Means,
