     Your Committee on Judiciary & Hawaiian Affairs, to which was referred S.B. No. 1337, S.D. 1, entitled:

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

begs leave to report as follows:

     The purpose of this measure is to clarify requirements to establish 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 existing law regarding quorum requirements for the Stadium Authority is unclear and difficult to obtain due to vacancies and non-voting memberships.  This measure clarifies quorum requirements so that the Authority may conduct official business in a timely and efficient manner.

     Your Committee has amended this measure by:

     (1)  Changing its effective date to upon approval; 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 Judiciary & Hawaiian Affairs that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 1337, S.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 1337, S.D. 1, H.D. 1, and be placed on the calendar for Third Reading.

Sir:

     Your Committee on Judiciary, to which was referred S.B. No. 1337, 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 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; Stadium Authority; and one individual.

     Your Committee finds that existing law is not specific on the requirement for the Stadium Authority to establish quorum and the voting requirement for the Stadium Authority to adopt a measure.  Your Committee further finds that the Stadium Authority has had difficulty meeting the quorum requirement set forth in section 92‑15, Hawaii Revised Statutes, due to vacancies and a lack of clarity in section 109-1, Hawaii Revised Statutes.  This measure will clarify the quorum and other requirements for the Stadium Authority to conduct official 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. 1337, S.D. 1, and recommends that it pass Third Reading.

State of Hawaii

Sir:

     Your Committee on Economic Development and Tourism, to which was referred S.B. No. 1337 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 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.

     Your Committee finds that the Stadium Authority, upon its establishment, was tasked with the operation and management of the Aloha Stadium Development District.  Since the closure of Aloha Stadium, the Stadium Authority Board has set out to develop a new stadium district but could not conduct business because of issues with meeting quorum requirements due to vacancies and clarity in governing law.  Therefore, by clarifying the quorum requirements for the Stadium Authority Board, this measure will allow the Board to take official action for the efficient operation of a new Aloha Stadium.

     Your Committee has amended this measure by:

     (1)  Inserting an effective date of July 1, 2050, to encourage further discussion; and

     (2)  Making technical, nonsubstantive amendments for the purposes of clarity and consistency.

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Economic Development and Tourism that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 1337, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 1337, S.D. 1, and be referred to your Committee on Judiciary.
