Honorable Shan S. Tsutsui

President of the Senate

Twenty-Sixth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2012

State of Hawaii

 

Sir:

 

     Your Committee on Ways and Means, to which was referred S.B. No. 2877 entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO HARBORS FIREBOAT,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose and intent of this measure is to abolish the requirement that the Department of Transportation reimburse the City and County of Honolulu for operational and maintenance costs of the fire boat and to allow the Department of Transportation to have greater flexibility in the management of fire boat services.

 

     Your Committee received written comments in support of this measure from the Honolulu Fire Department.

 

     Your Committee finds that this measure would allow for more economical management and a more comprehensive marine emergency response program.

 

     Your Committee has amended this measure by making technical nonsubstantive amendments for the purposes of consistency and style.

 

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Ways and Means that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 2877, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Third Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 2877, S.D. 1.

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Ways and Means,
