RE:   H.B. No. 566

 

 

 

 

Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-Fifth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2009

State of Hawaii

 

Sir:

 

     Your Committee on Housing, to which was referred H.B. No. 566 entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO INTOXICATING LIQUOR,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose of this bill is to prohibit the possession of any open liquor container on any public highway or sidewalk, or common area of a public housing project.  In addition, this bill provides that possession of an open liquor container on a sidewalk or in the common area of a public housing project constitutes prima facie evidence that a person is consuming liquor.

 

     The Hawaii Public Housing Authority supported this bill.

 

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Housing that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 566 and recommends that it pass Second Reading and be referred to the Committee on Judiciary.

 

 

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