STAND. COM. REP. NO. 2883

Honolulu, Hawaii

RE: S.B. No. 3059

S.D. 1

Honorable Ronald D. Kouchi

President of the Senate

Thirty-Second State Legislature

Regular Session of 2024

State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committee on Judiciary, to which was referred S.B. No. 3059, S.D. 1, entitled:

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO THE STADIUM AUTHORITY,"

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose and intent of this measure is to clarify the requirements to establish a quorum to do business and validate acts of the Stadium Authority.

Your Committee received testimony in support of this measure from the Department of Business, Economic Development, and Tourism and Stadium Authority.

Your Committee finds that the Stadium Authority has had issues establishing a quorum under existing law and has been unable to take any official action or adopt measures. Your Committee further finds that clear quorum requirements for the Stadium Authority will foster transparent and accountable decision-making and enhance the public's trust in the Stadium Authority. This measure provides needed clarity to ensure the Stadium Authority can establish quorum to conduct its important business.

As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Judiciary that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 3059, S.D. 1, and recommends that it pass Third Reading.

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Judiciary,
