H.D. 1

C.D. 1

Honorable Ronald D. Kouchi

President of the Senate

Twenty-Ninth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2018

State of Hawaii

Honorable Scott K. Saiki

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-Ninth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2018

State of Hawaii

Sirs:

Your Committee on Conference on the disagreeing vote of the Senate to the amendments proposed by the House of Representatives in S.B. No. 2803, S.D. 2, H.D. 1, entitled:

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO BOILER AND ELEVATOR SAFETY LAW,"

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:

(1) Update boiler and elevator safety laws by making housekeeping amendments to delete obsolete language;

(2) Rename the boiler and elevator special fund as the boiler and elevator revolving fund; and

(3) Extend the schedule for reimbursement of the general fund for appropriations made to establish the boiler and elevator special fund from five to ten years.

Your Committee on Conference finds that current state law contains various definitions of elevators and kindred equipment that are either no longer a part of applicable standards; transitioned to the jurisdiction of other work groups; excluded from the American Society of Mechanical Engineers A17.1, Safety Code for Elevators and Escalators; or non-existent in Hawaii; therefore, it is necessary to update the state laws to comply with the national standards.

Your Committee on Conference has amended this measure by changing the effective date to July 1, 2018.

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. 2803, S.D. 2, H.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Final Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 2803, S.D. 2, H.D. 1, C.D. 1.

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the managers:

ON THE PART OF THE HOUSE
