Speaker, House of Representatives
Twenty-Sixth State Legislature
Regular Session of 2012

Sir:
Your Committee on Judiciary, to which was referred H.B. No. 2241 entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO ANTIQUE GAMBLING DEVICES,"
begs leave to report as follows:
Two concerned citizens testified in support of this measure. Hawai‘i Coalition Against Legalized Gambling, Aupuni O Hawaii, and a concerned citizen provided testimony in opposition to this measure.
Your Committee has amended this measure by:
(1) Replacing the term "antique slot machine" with "antique gambling device" to conform the exemption with existing law;
(2) Defining "antique gambling device" as any inoperable, non-electronic, mechanical gambling device that is at least 25 years old and is used for display purposes only;
(3) Changing the effective date to January 7, 2059, to encourage further discussion; and
(4) Making technical, nonsubstantive amendments for the purposes of clarity, consistency, and style.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Judiciary that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 2241, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 2241, H.D. 1, and be placed on the calendar for Third Reading.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Judiciary,
