RE: H.B. No. 2324
H.D. 1
Honorable Scott K. Saiki
Speaker, House of Representatives
Twenty-Ninth State Legislature
Regular Session of 2018
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committee on Economic Development & Business, to which was referred H.B. No. 2324 entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO THE PACIFIC INTERNATIONAL SPACE CENTER FOR EXPLORATION SYSTEMS,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose of this measure is to improve the efficiency and administration of the Pacific International Space Center for Exploration Systems (PISCES) by:
(1) Properly placing PISCES within the Department of Business, Economic Development and Tourism rather than as an agency attached to the Office of Aerospace Development of the Department; and
(2) Changing the membership of the Board of Directors of PISCES by removing the Executive Director of the Space Center and adding the Chancellor of the University of Hawaii at Hilo.
The Department of Business, Economic Development and Tourism, Pacific International Space Center for Exploration Systems, University of Hawaii, and Board of the Pacific International Space Center for Exploration Systems testified in support of this measure.
Your Committee has amended this measure by:
(1) Changing its effective date to July 1, 2112, to facilitate further discussion; and
(2) Making technical, nonsubstantive amendments for clarity, consistency, and style.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Economic Development & Business that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 2324, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 2324, H.D. 1, and be referred to your Committee on Higher Education.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Economic Development & Business,
