                                     S.D. 2
                                     H.D. 1




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

Sir:

     Your Committee on Water and Land Use, to which was referred
S.B. No. 646, S.D. 2, entitled: 

     "A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO GOVERNMENT,"

begs leave to report as follows:

     The purpose of this bill is to improve government operations
by reducing the cost of copying government records from 50 cents
to 6 cents, expand the powers of the Barbers Point NAS
Redevelopment Commission, expand the responsibilities of the
Stadium Authority to include Kapolei Recreational Sports Complex
and create the Kapolei special fund.  

     Your Committee received testimony in support of this bill
from the Office of Information Practices and the Barbers Point
Naval Air Station Redevelopment Commission.  

     Your Committee finds that the imminent turnover of the
Barbers Point Naval Air Station from the federal government
requires that the BPNAS Redevelopment Commission be fully
prepared to handle the transition to civilian use with a minimum
of delay.  

     Concerns were raised regarding the Kapolei special fund and
the appropriateness of including the lost and found provisions in
the Hawaii Revised Statutes, but this matter falls under the
jurisdiction of the committees on Judiciary and Hawaiian Affairs
and Finance.  

     Your Committee revised the bill by:  

     1.   Providing for the appointment of the county director of
          parks and recreation and three additional county

          department directors designated by the mayor to the
          Barbers Point Naval Air Station Redevelopment
          Commission; 

     2.   Changing the effective date to July 1, 2010; and

     3.   Making technical, non-substantive changes for the
          purposes of style and clarity.  

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your
Committee on Water and Land Use that is attached to this report,
your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B.
No. 646, S.D. 2, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass
Second Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 646, S.D.
2, H.D. 1, and be referred to the Committee on Judiciary and
Hawaiian Affairs.

                                   Respectfully submitted on
                                   behalf of the members of the
                                   Committee on Water and Land
                                   Use,



                                   ______________________________
