RE: S.B. No. 3088
S.D. 2
H.D. 1
Honorable Scott K. Saiki
Speaker, House of Representatives
Thirtieth State Legislature
Regular Session of 2020
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committee on Economic Development & Business, to which was referred S.B. No. 3088, S.D. 2, entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO THE DEPARTMENT OF BUSINESS, ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, AND TOURISM,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The
purpose of this measure is to appropriate funds
to the Department of Business, Economic Development, and Tourism to support the
State's international sister state relations.
Your Committee has amended this measure by deleting its contents and inserting language that:
(1) Appropriates funds for various positions in the Creative Industries Division of the Department of Business, Economic Development, and Tourism for fiscal year 2020-2021;
(2) Makes a housekeeping, technical amendment relating to the Hawaii Film and Creative Industries Development Special Fund (Special Fund); and
(3) Appropriates funds out of the Special Fund.
Your Committee finds that this measure, as amended, will provide funding for positions in the Creative Industries Division to continue developing strategic initiatives to support Hawaii's creative entrepreneurs. Additionally, the measure, as amended, appropriates funds out of the Special Fund so that any grants or contributions received by the Department of Business, Economic Development, and Tourism from other sources that are deposited into the Special Fund may be expended.
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 S.B. No. 3088, S.D. 2, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 3088, S.D. 2, H.D. 1, and be referred to your Committee on Finance.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Economic Development & Business,
