STAND. COM. REP. NO. 99

Honolulu, Hawaii

RE:    S.B. No. 697

Honorable Donna Mercado Kim

President of the Senate

Twenty-Seventh State Legislature

Regular Session of 2013

State of Hawaii

Madam:

     Your Committee on Public Safety, Intergovernmental and Military Affairs, to which was referred S.B. No. 697 entitled:

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO AEROSPACE,"

begs leave to report as follows:

     The purpose and intent of this measure is to extend the term of members of the Aerospace Advisory Committee from two to four years.

     Your Committee received testimony in support of this measure from former Governor George Ariyoshi and the Department of Business, Economic Development, and Tourism.

     Your Committee finds that extending the terms of service for members of the 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.

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Public Safety, Intergovernmental and Military Affairs that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 697 and recommends that it pass Second Reading and be referred to the Committee on Ways and Means.

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Public Safety, Intergovernmental and Military Affairs,
