A BILL FOR AN ACT
relating to state small boat harbors.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF HAWAII:
SECTION 1. Currently, small boat harbors, which are regulated by the board of land and natural resources, are subjected to a multitude of confusing and cumbersome administrative rules. While these rules may be necessary to implement legislative mandates and to comply with court decisions which have been made over the years, some rules have been shown to be superfluous, excessive, and costly.
In addition, user fees paid by the small boat harbors into the boating special fund are currently used for maintaining boating facilities around the State without regard to each particular facility's contribution to the fund.
The purpose of this Act is to:
(1) Require the marine park to have a repair and maintenance system using computer technology and a timetable;
(2) Prohibit the administration from transferring money out of the special fund;
(3) Require a special fund financial report of income and expenditures to be provided to the advisory board; and
(4) Require that advisory board meetings organized by the department be recorded.
SECTION 2. Chapter 200, Hawaii Revised Statutes, is amended by adding a new section to be appropriately designated and to read as follows:
"§200- Small boat recreational harbors. The department of land and natural resources shall do the following:
(1) The small boat recreational harbor shall have a repair and maintenance system for the harbor using computer technology and a timetable. In creating this system, the department shall request the assistance of the department of education to share their repair and maintenance experience.
(2) Neither the department nor governor shall transfer money out of the small boat recreational boating special fund.
(3) The small boat recreational harbor special fund shall have a financial report of income and expenditures on a quarterly basis and make the report available to the advisory boards of the small boat recreational harbors.
(4) Small boat recreational harbors' advisory board meetings organized by the department shall be officially recorded."
SECTION 3. New statutory material is underscored.
SECTION 4. This Act shall take effect upon its approval.
