Sirs:
Your Committee on Conference on the disagreeing vote of the House of Representatives to the amendments proposed by the Senate in H.B. No. 2563, H.D. 2, S.D. 2, entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO THE HAWAII TOURISM AUTHORITY,"
having met, and after full and free discussion, has agreed to recommend and does recommend to the respective Houses the final passage of this bill in an amended form.
The purpose of this measure is to:
(1) Require the Hawaii Tourism Authority to study the feasibility of, and create a plan for, developing and publishing a mobile application that includes all online application processes and fee collections for reservations to conduct regulated recreational and commercial activities;
(2) Exempt the Hawaii Convention Center from certain requirements regarding concessions on public property;
(3) Authorize the Hawaii Tourism Authority to sell or lease the naming rights of the Hawaii Convention Center; and
(4) Facilitate advertising and marketing in or on the Hawaii Convention Center.
Your Committee on Conference has amended this measure by:
(1) Deleting language that would have required the Hawaii Tourism Authority to study the feasibility of, and create a plan for, developing and publishing the mobile application; and
(2) Making technical, nonsubstantive amendments for the purposes of clarity, consistency, and style.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the managers of your Committee on Conference that is attached to this report, your Committee on Conference is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 2563, H.D. 2, S.D. 2, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Final Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 2563, H.D. 2, S.D. 2, C.D. 1.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the managers:
