Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-Fifth State Legislature

State of Hawaii

 

Sir:

 

     Your Committees on Consumer Protection & Commerce and Judiciary, to which was referred H.B. No. 311 entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO LIQUOR,"

 

beg leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose of this bill is to improve liquor regulation by making various administrative and technical amendments to the liquor license and liquor tax laws.

 

     The City and County of Honolulu Liquor Commission and the Departments of Liquor Control for the counties of Hawaii, Kauai, and Maui testified in support of this bill.  The Department of Taxation submitted comments.

 

     Your Committees find that this bill advances efforts that began with Act 168, Session Laws of Hawaii 2008, to clarify and improve liquor laws relating to licensing, industry practices, and the adjudication process.

 

     As affirmed by the records of votes of the members of your Committees on Consumer Protection & Commerce and Judiciary that are attached to this report, your Committees are in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 311 and recommend that it pass Second Reading and be referred to the Committee on Finance.

 

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committees on Consumer Protection & Commerce and Judiciary,
