Honorable Ronald D. Kouchi

President of the Senate

Thirty-First State Legislature

Regular Session of 2022

State of Hawaii

Honorable Scott K. Saiki

Speaker, House of Representatives

Thirty-First State Legislature

Regular Session of 2022

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. 3272, S.D. 2, H.D. 2, entitled:

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO TRANSPORTATION,"

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 the Director of Transportation to adopt rules to require tour aircraft operations to report details of each flight taken by the tour aircraft operation monthly.

Your Committee on Conference finds that the noise from low-flying aircrafts over residential areas can cause health issues and negatively impact quality of life. Due to increasing concerns, this measure requires tour aircraft operations to file reports so that the State can monitor their compliance with federal regulations.

Your Committee on Conference has amended this measure by:

(1) Inserting language to establish the Air Noise and Safety Task Force;

(2) Amending section 1 to reflect its amended purpose;

(3) Making it effective upon its approval; and

(4) Making technical, nonsubstantive amendments for the purposes of clarity and consistency.

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. 3272, S.D. 2, H.D. 2, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Final Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 3272, S.D. 2, H.D. 2, C.D. 1.

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the managers:
