                                   RE:  S.B. No. 2301
                                        S.D. 2




Honorable Norman Mizuguchi
President of the Senate
Twentieth State Legislature
Regular Session of 2000
State of Hawaii

Sir:

     Your Committee on Ways and Means, to which was referred S.B.
No. 2301, S.D. 1, entitled: 

     "A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO HARBORS,"

begs leave to report as follows:

     The purpose of this bill is to establish a definition for
maritime lands.

     Your Committee finds that no current definition for the term
"maritime lands" exists.  A definition will provide some
certainty in the usage and allow the best use of these lands to
be made.

     Your Committee has amended the bill to correct some
typographical errors and to change the effective date to 2010 to
promote further discussion.

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your
Committee on Ways and Means that is attached to this report, your
Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No.
2301, S.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass
Third Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 2301, S.D.
2.
