Hawaii Game Management Advisory Commission Meeting <br />Minutes – June 27, 2017 <br />prior to you being there or while you’re being there – I’m not understanding <br />the process of your department as to game rules update that has been on <br />your desk, so, brief me as to what you folks work on besides all the other stuff <br />and you didn’t have time for this game rules to be worked on. Thank you. <br /> <br />JM: OK. For clarification the game rules changes that started in 2007 were <br />completed in 2015 – so the rules that we are abiding by now – Chapter 122 <br />and 123 were completed. So what we’re talking about is brand new effort at <br />changing rules – revising the rules – and then another case in point the – rule <br />changes only need to be approved by the board, correct? It’s if we’re <br />changing rules that are violating the authority of Hawaii Revised Statutes <br />that’s when we have to decide if we’re going in and try and change a statute <br />by making legislative changes and that gets very cumbersome and long term. <br /> <br />TN: So for clarification – if we just changing updated weaponry and not changing <br />statutes then the board approves of it – is that what I’m hearing? <br /> <br />JM: Correct. After public hearings... <br /> <br />TN: Right. So then, if it becomes a statute – a law change – then that takes <br />legislation? I’ll give a deadline either October or November so if we do come <br />across any law changing – statute changing – that we do it in this upcoming <br />legislation. <br /> <br />TL: OK. Thank you. Other than the 1200 foot pounds do you see anything else <br />that would require... <br /> <br />JM: Ah, not the stuff that we normally talk about and I don’t think the 1200 foot <br />pounds – is that in 183 D? <br /> <br />TN: Tom, are you needing a motion for this? <br /> <br />TL: That’s what we’re discussing right now – whether we need a motion for this or <br />not. I would move along without a motion – but I have Mr. Kamelamela here <br />who may suggest otherwise. <br /> <br />JK: What you’re talking about is really not on the agenda to do right now. But it’s <br />something that can be done later on. <br /> <br />TL: OK. Well we could do this just through our government affairs committee? <br /> <br />This is one of the issues that we have – is the timeline in getting these things <br />done – we’ve waited ten years for this and we have a willing participant here <br />sitting at the desk here – we would like to move forward with this – we know <br />what we want for the most part – know what we want to have done already. <br /> <br />14 <br /> <br /> <br />
