Sir:

 

     Your Committee on Consumer Protection & Commerce, to which was referred H.B. No. 2380, H.D. 1, entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO SHIPPING,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose of this measure is to assist the residents and businesses of Molokai and Lanai by establishing a working group to study and consider ways to reduce the time and cost of shipping goods from Molokai and Lanai to Oahu, including amending existing laws, exploring the feasibility of alternative modes of transportation, reducing taxes, and creating tax incentives.

 

     The Department of Transportation, Hawaii Farm Bureau Federation, Molokai Farm Bureau, and numerous concerned individuals supported this bill.  The Office of Hawaiian Affairs supported the intent of this measure.  The Department of Business, Economic Development, and Tourism and Young Brothers, Limited, submitted comments.

 

     Your Committee has amended this bill by:

 

     (1)  Adding to the working group a member to represent the island of Lanai; and

 

     (2)  Making technical, nonsubstantive amendments for purposes of clarity, consistency, and style.

 

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Consumer Protection & Commerce that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 2380, H.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it be referred to the Committee on Finance in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 2380, H.D. 2.

 

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Consumer Protection & Commerce,
