Hawaii Game Management Advisory Commission Meeting Minutes – January 29, 2018 TN: Thank you. TL: I have one issue and that is testimony of the group now – you might want to defer this until March – we’re gonna wait till our elections in March – but I wanted to reaffirm the ability of the legislative committee to have autonomy – so to speak on issues that we testify on primarily and, now, we voted on this in November, I believe, right? MH: I don’t know the exact date – I’d have to look at the minutes. TL: I think it’s in November, but, I’d like to reaffirm that tonight and what I’m asking for is a motion that the Legislative Committee, which – now, Kalei, I don’t know if you were going to be a member of that committee, but I also understand that you’re thinking that you might be moving... BK: I haven’t made a decision yet, I’m sorry, Tom. TL: So then are you planning then on coming into the Legislative Committee as we talked about? BK: I would like to hold off for now. TL: OK. DY: Excuse me, Tom, but this is something that we discussed about three times now...and, you know, we’ve agreed that sub-committees basically have the autonomy to act... So, how come? Why do we need it again? TL: OK, we’re good then, Malia, in your opinion with what we’ve done, right? MH: Yes. TL: So that if we give testimony – see one of the problems right now is that our testimony on any – and we have a bill, for example, right now, an apprentice hunting bill, which the Commission put together, submitted it, got it printed, it’s gonna be heard on Wednesday and I encourage all of you that are here to please go online and it’s Bill 1970 - Apprentice Hunting License. We need testimony on this Bill 1970. MH: Sorry, Tom, HB, yeah, HB 1970 and the website would be www.capitol.hawaii.gov. 23
