COM. REP. NO. 1862
Honolulu, Hawaii

RE: S.B. No. 775
S.D. 1
H.D. 2
Honorable Scott K. Saiki
Speaker, House of Representatives
Thirty-Second State Legislature
Regular Session of 2023
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committee on Judiciary & Hawaiian Affairs, to which was referred S.B. No. 775, S.D. 1, H.D. 1, entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO HUNTING GUIDES,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose of this measure is to require hunting guides to:
(1) Obtain written permission from the owners, occupiers, holders, or duly appointed agents of private lands before taking their clients to hunt on the private land; and
(2) Submit the location of each guided hunt, a copy of the written permission, and other required information to the Department of Land and Natural Resources as part of their annual reports.
Your Committee finds that unauthorized hunting on private land is dangerous for landowners. Requiring hunting guides to obtain written permission before hunting on private lands will promote the safety of persons and property and avoid unnecessary litigation.
Your Committee has amended this measure by making technical, nonsubstantive amendments for the purposes of clarity, consistency, and style.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Judiciary & Hawaiian Affairs that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 775, S.D. 1, H.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Third Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 775, S.D. 1, H.D. 2.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Judiciary & Hawaiian Affairs,
