RE: S.B. No. 2145
S.D. 1
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. 2145, S.D. 1, entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO THE SMALL BUSINESS REGULATORY REVIEW BOARD,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose of this measure is to transfer the Small Business Regulatory Review Board ("Board") from the Department of Business, Economic Development, and Tourism to the Department of Commerce and Consumer Affairs.
Furthermore, this measure finances the operations of the Board entirely through the compliance resolution fund and authorizes the Board to employ a small business advocate.
Your Committee received written comments in support of the measure from the Small Business Regulatory Review Board and one individual. The Department of Commerce and Consumer Affairs submitted comments in opposition to the measure. The written comments may be reviewed on the Legislature's website.
Your Committee finds that the transfer will provide financial stability to the Board, thus enabling it to effectively continue its operations.
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. 2145, S.D. 1, and recommends that it pass Third Reading.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Ways and Means,
