RE: H.B. No. 325
H.D. 1
Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say
Speaker, House of Representatives
Twenty-Sixth State Legislature
Regular Session of 2011
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committee on Agriculture, to which was referred H.B. No. 325 entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO AGRICULTURE,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose of this bill is to assist local farmers in selling their produce by appropriating funds for the establishment of a refrigerated food storage facility at the Hilo International Airport.
The Department of Agriculture (DOA) supported the intent of this measure.
DOA, although supportive of this measure's intent, indicated that facilities sited on lands under the primary jurisdiction of the Department of Transportation (DOT) require concurrence with, and are typically constructed by, DOT. Your Committee notes that DOT did not submit testimony on this bill.
Therefore, your Committee has amended this measure by changing its effective date to July 1, 2020, to encourage further discussion. Other technical, nonsubstantive amendments have been made for style, clarity, and consistency.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Agriculture that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 325, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 325, H.D. 1, and be referred to the Committee on Transportation.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Agriculture,
