Sir:

Your Committee on Finance, to which was referred S.B. No. 3320, S.D. 1, H.D. 1, entitled:

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO FERAL PIG CONTROL PERMITS,"

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this measure is to:

(1) Explicitly include feral pigs within the Department of Land and Natural Resources' permit system for the destruction within a district of wild birds, game birds, and game mammals; and

(2) Clarify that the Department of Land and Natural Resources may provide by rule that no permit or report shall be required to destroy or control game mammals, including feral pigs, during daytime hours on privately owned land when the action is otherwise in compliance with departmental rules.

Your Committee received testimony in support of this measure from the Department of Land and Natural Resources, Hawai‘i Farm Bureau, and Ulupono Initiative. Your Committee received testimony in opposition to this measure from one individual.

As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Finance that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 3320, S.D. 1, H.D. 1, and recommends that it pass Third Reading.

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Finance,
