Regular Session of 2010
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committee on Finance, to which was referred H.B. No. 2692 entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO DISASTER PREPAREDNESS PLANNING,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose of this bill is to safeguard the health, safety, and welfare of Leeward Coast residents, and eventually residents of other communities, by requiring the Director of Civil Defense to prepare a disaster preparedness plan for the 44th and 45th representative districts, which is to serve as a model for future plans for other communities in the state.
Numerous concerned individuals testified in support of this bill. The Department of Defense opposed this measure.
Your Committee has amended this bill by:
(1) Changing the effective date to July 1, 2020, to encourage further discussion; and
(2) Making technical, nonsubstantive amendments for purposes of consistency, clarity, and style.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Finance that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 2692, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Third Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 2692, H.D. 1.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Finance,
