                            RE:   H.B. No. 806
                                  H.D. 2

Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say
Speaker, House of Representatives
Twentieth State Legislature
Regular Session of 1999
State of Hawaii

Honorable Norman Mizuguchi
President of the Senate
Twentieth State Legislature
Regular Session of 1999
State of Hawaii

Sir:

     Your Committee on Conference on the disagreeing vote of the
House of Representatives to the amendments proposed by the Senate
in H.B. No. 806, H.D. 2, S.D. 2, entitled:  

     "A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO LAND EXCHANGE," 

having met, and after full and free discussion, has agreed to
recommend and does recommend to the respective Houses the final
passage of this bill in an amended form.

     The purpose of this measure is to approve the exchange of
public lands in North Kona for private lands along the Kona Coast
to develop a new motor speedway industry.

     Your Committee on Conference finds that Hawaii International
Motor Speedway is prepared to acquire land in South Kohala and is
willing to exchange the title to these lands for public lands in
North Kona.

     The measure would expedite the process by pre-authorizing
the Department of Land and Natural Resources to enter into a land
exchange with the Hawaii International Motor Speedway.

     Upon further consideration, your Committee on Conference has
amended the measure by:

     (1)  Changing the effective date of the measure from July 1,
          2020, to July 1, 1999;

     (2)  Adding provisions that:

          (A)  Require the Department of Land and Natural
               Resources to comply with the requirements of
               Chapters 6E, 205, 205A, and 343, Hawaii Revised
               Statutes, as applicable;

          (B)  Require the Hawaii International Motor Speedway to
               comply with all applicable state laws and county
               ordinances including but not limited to historic
               preservation, land use, coastal zone management,
               planning, zoning, environmental health, including

               Revised Statutes, and environmental impact
               statements; and

          (C)  State that the requirements stated in
               subparagraphs (A) and (B) shall supersede any
               other law to the contrary unless the conflicting
               law specifically provided otherwise;

          and

     (3)  Making technical, nonsubstantive amendments for the
          purpose of style.

     Your Committee on Conference is in accord with the intent
and purpose of H.B. No. 806, H.D. 2, S.D. 2, as amended herein,
and recommends that it pass Final Reading in the form attached
