STAND. COM. REP. NO. 908

Honolulu, Hawaii

RE: S.B. No. 152

Honorable Ronald D. Kouchi

President of the Senate

Thirtieth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2019

State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committee on Commerce, Consumer Protection, and Health, to which was referred S.B. No. 152 entitled:

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO FIREWORKS LABELING,"

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose and intent of this measure is to clarify labeling dimensions for display fireworks, articles pyrotechnic, and aerial devices.

Your Committee received testimony in support of this measure from the Hawaii State Fire Council, Honolulu Fire Department, Maui Fire Department, Hawai‘i Fire Department, and one individual.

Your Committee finds that existing fireworks labeling requirements for display fireworks, articles pyrotechnic, and aerial devices need clarification. Your Committee further finds that this measure therefore amends the labeling dimensions requirement for conformity with industry standards.

As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Commerce, Consumer Protection, and Health that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 152 and recommends that it pass Third Reading.

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Commerce, Consumer Protection, and Health,
