STAND. COM. REP. NO. 2597

 

Honolulu, Hawaii

                  

 

RE:    S.B. No. 2372

       S.D. 2

 

 

 

Honorable Colleen Hanabusa

President of the Senate

Twenty-Fifth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2010

State of Hawaii

 

Madam:

 

     Your Committee on Ways and Means, to which was referred S.B. No. 2372, S.D. 1, entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO SUNRISE REVIEWS,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose of this measure is to reaffirm the Legislature's inherent power to waive its own requirement that the Auditor conduct sunrise reviews of legislation that propose to regulate unregulated professions or vocations.

 

     Your Committee received comments on the measure from the Department of Commerce and Consumer Affairs.  The written comments may be reviewed on the Legislature's website.

 

     Your Committee finds that this measure ensures legislative flexibility if the Legislature finds the Auditor's analysis is unnecessary because it possessed sufficient information to assess probable effects of a proposed regulatory measure and ensures the Legislature can promptly address critical public health, safety, and welfare needs in the State without impediment.

 

     Your Committee has amended this measure by:

 

(1)  Changing the effective date to July 1, 2050, to facilitate further discussion on the measure; and

 

(2)  Making technical amendments, including citing the specific section of the state constitution relating to the Legislature's constitutional functions.

 

     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. 2372, S.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Third Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 2372, S.D. 2.

 

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