State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committee on Finance, to which was referred S.B. No. 41, S.D. 1, H.D. 1, entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO CONSERVATION,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose of this bill is to teach Hawaii's youths about the State's unique natural history and to direct them toward careers in conservation by:
(1) Re-establishing the Youth Conservation Corps (YCC);
(2) Directing the Department of Land and Natural Resources (DLNR) to use conveyance tax moneys designated for the Natural Area Reserve Fund (Fund) to support YCC; and
(3) Appropriating $1 from the Fund for YCC.
DLNR supported the intent of this measure. The Tax Foundation of Hawaii offered comments.
Your Committee has amended this bill by changing the source of funding for the appropriation to the general fund.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Finance that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 41, S.D. 1, H.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Third Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 41, S.D. 1, H.D. 2.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Finance,
