Honorable Ronald D. Kouchi

Sirs:
Your Committee on Conference on the disagreeing vote of the House of Representatives to the amendments proposed by the Senate in H.B. No. 1033, H.D. 2, S.D. 2, entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO MANDATORY VESSEL INSURANCE COVERAGE,"
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 require owners of vessels that are:
(1) At least twenty-six feet long and registered with the Department of Land and Natural Resources or operated with a valid United States Coast Guard documentation number; or
(2) Grounded anywhere in the State or state ocean waters,
to maintain marine insurance coverage with a limit of at least $100,000 per occurrence that includes coverage for removal and salvage of a grounded vessel. This measure also permits the Department of Land and Natural Resources to grant exceptions to the insurance requirement to transient vessels that are not moored in any facility under the Department's jurisdiction.
Your Committee on Conference has amended this measure by:
(1) Requiring, rather than authorizing, the Department to adopt administrative rules to implement the insurance requirement; and
(2) Changing its effective date to December 31, 2019.
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 H.B. No. 1033, H.D. 2, S.D. 2, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Final Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 1033, H.D. 2, S.D. 2, C.D. 1.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the managers:
