Regular Session of 1999
State of Hawaii

Sir:

     Your Committees on Ocean Recreation and Marine Resources and
Water and Land Use, to which was referred H.B. No. 1291 entitled: 

     "A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO FISHPOND RESTORATION,"

beg leave to report as follows:

     The purpose of this bill is to appropriate funds for
fishpond restoration on the island of Molokai.

     Your Committees received testimony in favor of this bill
from the County of Maui's County Council.

     Your Committees have amended this measure by changing the
appropriation amount to $1 for the purpose of continuing

     Your Committees find that the restoration of fishponds on
the island of Molokai will benefit the State through cultural
preservation, economic development, and environmental protection.

     As affirmed by the records of votes of the members of your
Committees on Ocean Recreation and Marine Resources and Water and
Land Use that are attached to this report, your Committees are in
accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 1291, as amended
herein, and recommend that it pass Second Reading in the form
attached hereto as H.B. No. 1291, H.D. 1, and be referred to the
Committee on Finance.
