Honolulu, Hawaii
RE: S.B. No. 3031
Honorable Shan S. Tsutsui
President of the Senate
Twenty-Sixth State Legislature
Regular Session of 2012
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committee on Public Safety, Government Operations, and Military Affairs, to which was referred S.B. No. 3031 entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO INTOXICATING LIQUOR,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose and intent of this measure is to clarify that a licensee who timely prevents or suppresses any violent, quarrelsome, disorderly, lewd, immoral, or unlawful conduct of any person on the premises is not in violation of the law on certain prohibitions on liquor licensees.
Your Committee received testimony in support of this measure from Centerplate and Hawaii Bar Owners Association. Comments were received from the Honolulu Liquor Commission.
Your Committee finds that existing law provides for an "immediate" action by the liquor licensee to prevent or suppress violent, quarrelsome, disorderly, lewd, immoral, or unlawful conduct. This measure substitutes "timely" for "immediate," which is intended to afford the licensee a more practical time period in which to address the behavior.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Public Safety, Government Operations, and Military Affairs that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 3031 and recommends that it pass Second Reading and be referred to the Committee on Judiciary and Labor.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Public Safety, Government Operations, and Military Affairs,
