A BILL FOR AN ACT
relating to BUSINESS PROTECTION.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF HAWAII:
SECTION 1. Section 201-2, Hawaii Revised Statutes, is amended to read as follows:
"§201-2 General objective, functions,
and duties of department. It shall be the objective of the department of
business, economic development, and tourism to make broad policy determinations
with respect to economic development and business protection in the
State and to stimulate through research and demonstration projects those
industrial and economic development efforts that offer the most immediate
promise of expanding the economy of the State. The department shall endeavor
to gain an understanding of those functions and activities of other
governmental agencies and of private agencies that relate to the field of
economic development[.] and business protection. It shall, at
all times, encourage initiative and creative thinking in harmony with the
objectives of the department.
The department of business, economic development, and tourism shall have sole jurisdiction over the land use commission under chapter 205, state planning under chapter 225M, and the Hawaii State Planning Act under chapter 226. Due to the inherently interdependent functions of development, planning, and land use, these functions shall not be transferred by executive order, directive, or memorandum, to any other department, nor shall these functions be subject to review or approval by any other department."
SECTION 2. Statutory material to be repealed is bracketed and stricken. New statutory material is underscored.
