RE:    H.B. No. 1419

       H.D. 2

 

 

 

Honorable Donna Mercado Kim

President of the Senate

Twenty-Seventh State Legislature

Regular Session of 2013

State of Hawaii

 

Madam:

 

     Your Committees on Public Safety, Intergovernmental and Military Affairs and Economic Development, Government Operations and Housing, to which was referred H.B. No. 1419, H.D. 2, entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO THE PACIFIC INTERNATIONAL SPACE CENTER FOR EXPLORATION SYSTEMS,"

 

beg leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose and intent of this measure is to make an appropriation to the Pacific International Space Center for Exploration Systems (PISCES).

 

     Your Committees received testimony in support of this measure from the Department of Business, Economic Development, and Tourism; University of Hawaii at Hilo; Land Use Research Foundation; and twenty individuals.

 

     Your Committees find that PISCES is planning to develop a world-class space center in Hawaii that can facilitate the design, testing, and validation of new technologies that support robotic and human missions to space.  This measure supports an economic driver for the island of Hawaii that will promote the establishment and growth of new sustainable and green industries along with associated jobs, workforce development, internships, and science, technology, engineering, and math education programs.

 

     As affirmed by the records of votes of the members of your Committees on Public Safety, Intergovernmental and Military Affairs and Economic Development, Government Operations and Housing that are attached to this report, your Committees are in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 1419, H.D. 2, and recommend that it pass Second Reading and be referred to the Committee on Ways and Means.

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committees on Public Safety, Intergovernmental and Military Affairs and Economic Development, Government Operations and Housing,
