RE: S.B. No. 1163
S.D. 1
H.D. 1
Honorable Scott K. Saiki
Speaker, House of Representatives
Thirty-Second State Legislature
Regular Session of 2023
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committee on Corrections, Military & Veterans, to which was referred S.B. No. 1163, S.D. 1, entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO CIVIL AIR PATROL,"
begs leave to report as follows:
Your Committee
received testimony in support of this measure from the Hawai‘i Emergency
Management Agency and one individual.
Your Committee finds that the Civil Air Patrol
has assisted emergency management agencies throughout the nation with response
and recovery efforts during and after a disaster. Your Committee further finds that the Civil Air
Patrol conducted aerial reconnaissance of the State after the severe weather
incident in December 2021 and the photographs were instrumental in documenting
the damage to roadways on the island of Maui and were included in the State's
application for a federal disaster declaration.
This measure ensures that critical auxiliary aviation services continue
to be available in the State in the event of an emergency or disaster.
Your Committee has amended this measure by:
(1) Changing the effective date to June 30, 3000, to encourage further discussion; and
(2) Making a technical, nonsubstantive amendment for the purposes of clarity, consistency, and style.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Corrections, Military & Veterans that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 1163, S.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 1163, S.D. 1, H.D. 1, and be referred to your Committee on Finance.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Corrections, Military & Veterans,
