Sir:

Your Committee on Labor & Tourism, to which was referred S.B. No. 2075, S.D. 1, entitled:

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO THE HAWAII TOURISM AUTHORITY,"

The purpose of this measure is to require the Hawaii Tourism Authority to include performance-based incentives in all of its professional services contracts.

Your Committee received testimony in support of this measure from the Maui Chamber of Commerce. Your Committee received comments on this measure from the Hawaii Tourism Authority.

Your Committee finds that the inclusion of performance-based incentives in the Hawaii Tourism Authority's professional services contracts is intended to maximize the efficacy and return on marketing efforts.

Your Committee has amended this measure by changing the effective date to December 25, 2040, to encourage further discussion.

As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Labor & Tourism that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 2075, S.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 2075, S.D. 1, H.D. 1, and be referred to your Committee on Finance.

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Labor & Tourism,
