STAND. COM. REP. NO. 208-12
Honolulu, Hawaii
, 2012
RE: H.B. No. 2673
H.D. 1
Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say
Speaker, House of Representatives
Twenty-Sixth State Legislature
Regular Session of 2012
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committee on Tourism, to which was referred H.B. No. 2673 entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO TOURISM,"
begs leave to report as follows:
Your Committee notes that this measure lacks instruction on how the proposed donations are to be used by the Department of Land and Natural Resources. Thus, a clear nexus between the benefits sought and the charges made upon the users or beneficiaries, as required for special funds under section 37-52.3, Hawaii Revised Statutes, has not been established. The measure requires further discussion to address this concern.
Your Committee has amended this measure by:
(1) Changing the date on which donations are to be remitted to the twentieth day of each month to conform to Department of Taxation standard practices; and
(2) Making technical, nonsubstantive amendments for clarity, consistency, and style.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Tourism that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 2673, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 2673, H.D. 1, and be referred to the Committee on Water, Land, & Ocean Resources.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Tourism,
|
