                                     H.D. 1




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

Sir:

     Your Committee on Judiciary and Hawaiian Affairs, to which
was referred S.B. No. 1095 entitled: 

     "A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO HUNTING,"

begs leave to report as follows:

     The purpose of this bill is to extend the repeal date of Act
254, Session Laws of Hawaii 1997, to June 30, 2002.

     Testimony in support of this measure was received from the
Board of Land and Natural Resources, Hawaii Citizens' Rights Pac,
Hawaii Rifle Association, Hawaii Hunting Association, and several
concerned individuals.  

     Your Committee finds that it will be beneficial to allow
additional time to assess the benefits of, and any problems with,
handgun hunting in the State. 

     Your Committee has amended this bill by amending the
effective date of the bill to June 30, 2000.

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your
Committee on Judiciary and Hawaiian Affairs that is attached to
this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and
purpose of S.B. No. 1095, as amended herein, and recommends that
it be referred to the Committee on Finance, in the form attached
hereto as S.B. No. 1095, H.D. 1.
