COM. REP. NO. 113
Honolulu, Hawaii
, 2025
RE: H.B. No. 1083
H.D. 1
Honorable Nadine K. Nakamura
Speaker, House of Representatives
Thirty-Third State Legislature
Regular Session of 2025
State of Hawaii
Madame:
Your Committee on Transportation, to which was referred H.B. No. 1083 entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO VESSELS IN STATE COMMERCIAL HARBORS,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose of this measure is to clarify that the requirements for the securing of mooring lines in state commercial harbors shall not apply to certain vessels.
Your Committee finds that
this measure exempts government-owned or government-sponsored vessels, training
vessels, and fishing vessels from the requirements that the securing of mooring
lines from vessels to the State's commercial docks, wharves, piers, quays, and
landings be performed by labor that is subject to collective bargaining.
Your Committee
respectfully requests your Committees on Labor and Consumer Protection &
Commerce, should they deliberate on this measure, to work with the Department
of Transportation in potentially expanding the exemptions under this measure to
include other vessels, as necessary.
Your Committee has amended this measure by:
(1) Changing the effective date to July 1, 3000, to encourage further discussion; and
(2) Making a technical, nonsubstantive amendment for the purposes of clarity, consistency, and style.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Transportation that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 1083, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 1083, H.D. 1, and be referred to your Committee on Labor.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Transportation,
