Sir:

 

     Your Committee on Public Safety, to which was referred H.B. No. 1629 entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO EMERGENCY SHELTERS,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose of this bill is to facilitate efforts to increase emergency shelter capacity in the state by requiring the design and construction specifications of certain new state and county buildings, prior to construction, to be modified to meet the standards for emergency shelters, if deemed suitable and necessary by the Director of Civil Defense.

 

     The Department of Defense and Disability and Communication Access Board supported this bill.  The University of Hawaii supported the intent of this measure.

 

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Public Safety that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 1629 and recommends that it pass Second Reading and be referred to the Committee on Water, Land, & Ocean Resources.

 

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Public Safety,
