tracking in that committee was HB 535 – I guess we still looking into other bills now that there’s <br />a CIP HB 1380 \[unclear\] from District – 7, SB 770, HB 165 so, and I’m the Chair of that committee <br />as well so I’ll just get back to you guys next month and see where those bills are going and see <br />how we going move forward with those bills, but probably by that time it’ll probably be too late <br />anyway. <br /> <br />RD: Chair, I have a question, Robert Duerr, District – 1. Do we know what, how, what happened to <br />HB 535. Does it help us… <br /> <br />AA: Yes. It went through the Water and Land, and it passed Water and Land with some <br />amendments, and I think the only amendment that I’d seen was the date – the start date of it – I <br />think that was the only amendment on it. After that it went to the Judiciary and Hawaiian Affairs <br />Committee, which is chaired by David Tarnas and we got a meeting with him and Todd Yukutake <br />from the Firearms Coalition put it on and he invited me up to David and gave a brief orientation <br />on that bill and he just said didn’t have time so he had many other things he’s concerned about <br />so he wasn’t gonna hear it. <br /> <br />RD: This is Representative Tarnas? <br /> <br />AA: Yes. <br /> <br />RD: From democratic Kona? <br /> <br />AA: Yeah, democratic Kawaihae/North Kona, I guess. District 9 – well, that’s county District 9. <br /> <br />BL: \[Unclear\] <br /> <br />AA: Ah, moving to… <br /> <br />LT: E Leomana, District – 3. Sorry I just wanted to make a – I don’t know how to say this but, you <br />know, a lot of the politicians been putting out bills to like the last year we had the pig birth <br />control – this year we have the chicken birth control. How, like, how can we put out something <br />to say like you guys gotta get a letter of recommendation to enact any type of these bills from <br />the proper authorities or someone of expert knowledge cause I don’t, you know, I just see it on <br />top of the news that, oh, that, you know, some of the people on Oahu are introducing these bills <br />having to do with birth control for animals and I never got a call, and I know most of you guys <br />didn’t get a call so how can we kind of, I guess, help manage that or get some respect in that <br />regard? <br /> <br />AA: OK, for one, Leomana, I know you know this, so we’re the only County in the State with a game <br />management advisory commission. There is a Hawaii State Game Management Commission that <br />is run by DLNR, under DLNR, and, ah, they need to – the different counties need to reach out to <br />their State GMAC representative because each county has their own State GMAC <br />representative. Like for the East side is ours one is Jason Sanborn. For the West side – the Kona <br />side – it’s still vacant – there’s no position – that position is still open, so, again, if anybody on <br />the Kona side wants to represent the Kona side – go and apply. You go onto the State DLNR’s <br />website and apply for that Game Management Commission vacancy, um, like you say, I never <br />get any phone calls – I rarely get any phone calls about any game management things and <br />28 <br /> <br /> <br />
