Honorable Joseph M. Souki

Speaker, House of Representatives

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. 697, H.D. 1, entitled:

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO AEROSPACE,"

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 enhance the continuity of the Hawaii Aerospace Advisory Committee by extending the terms of committee members from two to four years.

     Your Committee on Conference finds that extending the terms of service for members of the Hawaii Aerospace Advisory Committee will enable committee members to establish stronger working relationships and enhance the continuity of discourse among members, as well as reduce the administrative efforts required to maintain appropriate representation on the committee.

     Your Committee on Conference has amended this measure by:

     (1)  Changing the effective date to upon approval; and

     (2)  Making technical, nonsubstantive amendments for the purposes of clarity and consistency.

     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. 697, H.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Final Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 697, H.D. 1, C.D. 1.

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the managers:

ON THE PART OF THE HOUSE
