STAND. COM. REP. NO. 2575

 

Honolulu, Hawaii

                  

 

RE:    S.B. No. 3031

       S.D. 1

 

 

 

Honorable Shan S. Tsutsui

President of the Senate

Twenty-Sixth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2012

State of Hawaii

 

Sir:

 

     Your Committee on Judiciary and Labor, to which was referred S.B. No. 3031 entitled:

 

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

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose and intent of this measure is to clarify that a liquor licensee who timely prevents or suppresses any violent, quarrelsome, disorderly, lewd, immoral, or unlawful conduct of any person on the premises is not in violation of the law.

 

     Your Committee did not receive any testimony on this measure.

 

     Your Committee finds that existing law provides for an "immediate" action by the liquor licensee to prevent or suppress violent, quarrelsome, disorderly, lewd, immoral, or unlawful conduct.  This measure substitutes "timely" for "immediate," which is intended to afford the licensee a more practical time period in which to address the behavior.

 

     Your Committee has amended this measure by:

 

(1)  Changing the effective date to July 1, 2050, to ensure further discussion; and

 

(2)  Making a technical, nonsubstantive amendment for the purposes of clarity and consistency.

 

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Judiciary and Labor that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 3031, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Third Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 3031, S.D. 1.

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Judiciary and Labor,

CLAYTON HEE, Chair
