                                   RE:  S.B. No. 3159
                                        S.D. 1




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. 3159, S.D. 1, entitled: 

     "A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO THE HOUSING AND COMMUNITY
     DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION OF HAWAII,"

begs leave to report as follows:

     The purpose of this bill is to subject the Housing and
Community Development Corporation of Hawaii to the residential
landlord-tenant code.

     Furthermore, this bill narrows the current exemptions for
homeless facilities and public housing complexes under the
jurisdiction of the Housing and Community Development Corporation
of Hawaii from the residential landlord-tenant code to lease
termination and eviction procedures.

     Your Committee finds that this measure is necessary to
ensure fair and equitable treatment to tenants of homeless
facilities and public housing complexes.

     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.
3159, S.D. 1, and recommends that it pass Third Reading.


 
a                                                     SB3159
