UNFINISHED BUSINESS A. 2009 HSAC Legislative Package President Rapozo stated that there were eight legislative proposals for consideration in the HSAC legislative package. He suggested that the Executive Committee vote on each item to determine which proposals should be included in a package to be sent to the councils for approval. Treasurer Pontanilla stated that he could not vote prior to a vote by the Maui county council on the individual items. 1:35 - a recess was called. 1:45 -meeting reconvened. President Rapozo stated that he would like to vote on the items, however if not all members were ready to vote at the current meeting the vote could be deferred. He stated that if the vote is delayed he is concerned about timely submission of the HSAC package to the legislature. Vice President Jacobson stated that removal of proposals could occur at the council level and his understanding was that HSAC representatives must then follow the recommendation of their respective councils. He added that the current proposals could be referred to the councils, which could amend the package only through removal of proposals, not amendment or addition of new proposals. Vice President Jacobson moved to approve the following legislative proposals as the HSAC legislative package and refer the package to the county councils for approval: 1) A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO PRODUCT BRANDING AND LABELING (Hawaii) 2) A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO THE PUBLIC UTILITIES COMMISSION (Hawaii) 3) A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO HOUSING (Maui)
