RE:   H.B. No. 2268

      H.D. 2

 

 

 

 

Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-Sixth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2012

State of Hawaii

 

Sir:

 

     Your Committee on Finance, to which was referred H.B. No. 2268, H.D. 1, entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO SMALL BUSINESS,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose of this measure is to authorize the small business regulatory review board to require an agency to conduct another public hearing on a rule change when the rulemaking agency declines to make changes requested at the first hearing and the agency's small business statement, submitted after the hearing, indicates inconsistency with its earlier determination or does not address the public's concerns.

 

     The Hawaii Farm Bureau Federation supported this measure.  The Department of Transportation and the Department of Human Services opposed this measure.  The Department of Business, Economic Development, and Tourism; the Department of Land and Natural Resources; and the Department of Health commented on this measure.

 

     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 Finance that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 2268, H.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Third Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 2268, H.D. 2.

 

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