RE:   H.C.R. No. 92

      H.D. 1

 

 

 

 

Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-Fifth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2010

State of Hawaii

 

Sir:

 

     Your Committee on Consumer Protection & Commerce, to which was referred H.C.R. No. 92 entitled:

 

"HOUSE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION REQUESTING THE DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE AND CONSUMER AFFAIRS TO STUDY THE FEASIBILITY OF MANDATORY STATEWIDE TRAINING STANDARDS FOR SELLERS AND SERVERS OF ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose of this concurrent resolution is to reduce the number of drunk driving fatalities and violent crimes by requesting the Department of Commerce and Consumer Affairs (DCCA) to study the feasibility of establishing mandatory uniform statewide standards for training and certification of those involved in the selling and serving of alcoholic beverages in commercial establishments.

 

     Hawaii Food Industry Association and Mothers Against Drunk Driving Hawaii testified in support of this concurrent resolution.  The liquor commissions for City and County of Honolulu, Hawaii County, Kauai County, and Maui County supported the intent of this measure.  DCCA provided comments.

 

     Your Committee has amended this concurrent resolution by:

 

     (1)  Requesting the Honolulu Liquor Commission to study the feasibility of mandatory statewide training standards instead of DCCA; and

 

     (2)  Changing the title to read, "REQUESTING THE HONOLULU LIQUOR COMMISSION TO STUDY THE FEASIBILITY OF MANDATORY STATEWIDE TRAINING STANDARDS FOR SELLERS AND SERVERS OF ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES."

 

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Consumer Protection & Commerce that is attached to this report, your Committee concurs with the intent and purpose of H.C.R. No. 92, as amended herein, and recommends its adoption in the form attached hereto as H.C.R. No. 92, H.D. 1.

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Consumer Protection & Commerce,
