Your Committee on Ways and Means, to which was referred S.B. No. 3298 entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO SHOOTING FACILITIES,"

The purpose and intent of this measure is to establish a working group to determine potential locations and requirements for a shooting facility in the County of Hawaii and to appropriate moneys for the shooting facility if the County of Hawaii provides matching funds.

Your Committee has amended this measure by:
(1) Changing the effective date to July 1, 2050, to facilitate further discussion on the measure; and
