                   A  BILL  FOR  AN  ACT

RELATING TO COASTAL ZONE MANAGEMENT.



BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF HAWAII:

 1      SECTION 1.  The legislature finds that there is a need to
 
 2 clarify the language of chapter 205A, Hawaii Revised Statutes,
 
 3 pertaining to public advisory group because of recent litigation
 
 4 and to revise the objectives and policies of the chapter to make
 
 5 them consistent with the practical intent and purpose of coastal
 
 6 zone management.  The legislature also finds that a special fund
 
 7 for the coastal zone management program will allow it to seek
 
 8 funds from various outside sources.
 
 9      The purpose of this Act is to make clear that it is the lead
 
10 agency's responsibility to maintain a public advisory body and
 
11 that the body is advisory to the lead agency and the state
 
12 coastal zone management program.  The Act amends certain
 
13 objectives and policies to make the former all goal statements
 
14 and the latter all implementation statements.  The Act also
 
15 establishes a coastal zone special fund to allow the program to
 
16 retain fees, fines, and moneys directed to the program by non-
 
17 state sources and use the funds for the purposes of the program.
 
18      SECTION 2.  Chapter 205A, Hawaii Revised Statutes, is
 
19 amended by adding to part I a new section to be appropriately
