RE: S.B. No. 935
S.D. 2
H.D. 1
Honorable Scott K. Saiki
Speaker, House of Representatives
Thirty-First State Legislature
Regular Session of 2021
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committee on Economic Development, to which was referred S.B. No. 935, S.D. 2, entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO AEROSPACE,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose of this measure is to:
(1) Establish
the Office of Aerospace Development in the Hawaii Technology Development
Corporation instead of the Department of Business, Economic Development, and
Tourism;
(2) Repeal references to the Pacific International
Space Center for Exploration Systems;
(3) Transfer the rights, powers, functions, and
duties of the Pacific International Space Center for Exploration Systems to the
Office of Aerospace Development;
(4) Allow the Aerospace Advisory Committee to
select the Director of the Office of Aerospace Development; and
(5) Reduce the number of members on the Aerospace Advisory Committee.
Your Committee finds that the Office of Aerospace
Development provides a focal point within state government to facilitate
dialogue and coordination among various entities to promote the growth and
diversification of Hawaii's aerospace industry.
By consolidating the Office of Aerospace Development and Pacific
International Space Center for Exploration Systems, this measure ensures that
the State can more efficiently direct its resources in the field of aerospace.
Your Committee has amended this measure by making
technical, nonsubstantive amendments for the purposes of clarity, consistency,
and style.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Economic Development that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 935, S.D. 2, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 935, 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,
