Yamane, Chair Representative Scott Y. Nishimoto, Vice Chair Thursday, March 11, 2010, 10:45 AM State Capitol, Room 309 Representative Hanohano, Yamane and Members of the Committees: The Department of Public Safety does not support Senate Bill 2213 SD2 that proposes to amend Section 46-1.5 relating to general powers and limitations of the counties by allowing Hawaii's four counties to independently develop and establish dispensaries for the distrib~tion of marijuana for medical use to qualifying patients and primary caregivers registered under section 329-123 HRS. This could result in four separate sets of rules and regulations set by the counties that would have to be regulated and enforced, without any clarification as to which government entity is to regulate this practice. Senate Bill 2213 SD2 requires the Department of Public Safety to annually register these compassion centers, although it is not clear if the Department or the counties will be tasked with the collection and dispersment of the $5000.00 registration fee, nor does the SB2213 SD2 March 11,2010 Page 2 bill allocate any manpower or funds to implement this new program.

  • House Committee on Education Wednesday, March 21, 2012 State Capitol, Room 309 5B2994
    NEIL ABERCROMBIE RICHARD BURNS GOVERNOR STATE LIBRARIAN STATE OF HAWAII KAWAII STATE PUBLIC LIBRARY SYSTEM OFFICE OF THE STATE LIBRARIAN 44 MERCHANT STREET HONOLULU, HAWAII 96813 House Committee on Education Wednesday, March 21, 2012 State Capitol, Room 309 5B2994, SD2 - Relating to Education The Hawaii State Public Library System (HSPLS) agrees with the intent and purpose of SB2994 SD2, to encourage more private-public partnerships to benefit the HSPLS at the community level. This bill clarifies that subaccounts may be established within the libraries special fund to account for donations to specific library branches. We already have “subaccounts” set up to properly account for privately donated moneys specified by a donor to be for the benefit of a specific public library and disbursed to that specified public library for the sole use of that library. This bill would support and legally authorize our current practice of accounting, tracking and reporting oil these subaccounts for every public library in the State. This bill requires the board of education to adopt rules pursuant to Chapter 91, HRS to carry out the purposes of section 312-3.8, HRS authorizing HSPLS through the state librarian to issue licenses, revocable permits, concessions, or rights of entry for the use of public library system facilities. We can certainly agree that comprehensive Hawaii State Public Library System House Committee on Education Hearing on 5B2994, 502 March 21,2012 Page 2 administrative rules will provide HSPLS with a clear direction on the activities appropriate for public libraries. Finally, the intent of this Act will be to provide the opportunity for every individual and every entity to support their public library at the community level.
