Hawaii Game Management Advisory Commission Meeting Minutes – April 15, 2019 NP: Thank you. TN: You did give us your contact information? BKK: Oh, if you just sign-in that’ll be great. Yeah. All right, so moving over to Old Business. OLD BUSINESS: BKK: Without Jim here I would like to table 6a. I would also like to table B & C, cause I didn’t get any letter updates and I have no updates for our previously created committees. So without any objection I would like to table 6 a, b, and c. No objection. OK. Moving over to 7a – Legislative updates... NEW BUSINESS 7. A. LEGISLATIVE UPDATES NP: So what’s the difference between Legislative Updates and Government Relations Bill update? BKK: Good question. NP: So can that be one – all the same? BKK: Yeah, it can be all the same, that’s fine. NP: OK, um, so, um, with the Legislature – our one remaining bill – all the rest of our bills have been shelved, which, you know, they can be resurrected next year so, um, but HB 1325, um, it made it a long ways – wow – one, two, three, four, five, six committees, um, and now it’s in Senate Judiciary and Ways and Means and the wording’s been changed all along the way but one good point about it is that it says in the bill that the State GMAC – that, um, watershed initiatives have to be approved by the State GMAC and so that’s really the main thing we’re fighting for so, um, that’s good news and we’ll see if it makes it this year, um, there was a vote in the Legislature this morning to reinstate Suzanne Case and Bob Masuda for DLNR and they won the vote so they’re gonna be remaining until 2022. BKK: To clarify that – they went through the Senate Committee first and now they’re gonna go to the session. NP: Thank you. So that’s all I have to share. 25
