H.D. 1
Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say
Speaker, House of Representatives
Twenty-Sixth State Legislature
Regular Session of 2012
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committee on Water, Land, & Ocean Resources, to which was referred H.B. No. 2588 entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO GROUNDED VESSELS,"
begs leave to report as follows:
Your Committee has amended this measure by allowing a vessel owner to remain as the primary agent for salvaging the vessel after 24 hours has passed if:
(1) The owner provides proof of having a marine insurance policy listing the State as an additional insured with coverage in an amount of at least $1,000,000; and
(2) The owner produces evidence showing that salvage efforts are already underway and that the vessel can be saved within a reasonable amount of time as approved by the Department of Land and Natural Resources.
Technical, nonsubstantive amendments for the purposes of clarity, consistency, and style were also made.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Water, Land, & Ocean Resources that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 2588, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 2588, H.D. 1, and be referred to the Committee on Finance.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Water, Land, & Ocean Resources,
