                                 RE: H.B. No. 2524
                                     




Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say
Speaker, House of Representatives
Twentieth State Legislature
Regular Session of 2000
State of Hawaii

Sir:

     Your Committee on Finance, to which was referred H.B. No.
2524 entitled: 

     "A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO PROPHYLACTICS,"

begs leave to report as follows:

     The purpose of this bill is to eliminate unnecessary permits
that businesses are required to obtain by removing requirements
that the Department of Health (DOH):

     (1)  Issue permits for prophylactic vending machines; and

     (2)  Adopt rules for the sale of prophylactics through
          vending machines.

     DOH testified in support of this measure.

     Your Committee notes that section 321-115, Hawaii Revised
Statutes, is unnecessary because federal law already addresses
the regulation of prophylactic vending machines.

     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.
2524 and recommends that it pass Third Reading.

                                   behalf of the members of the
                                   Committee on Finance,
