RE: H.R. No. 63

H.D. 1

 

 

 

Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-First State Legislature

Regular Session of 2002

State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committee on Transportation, to which was referred H.R. No. 63 entitled:

"HOUSE RESOLUTION REQUESTING A FEASIBILITY STUDY OF BUILDING BRIDGES IN STREAMS FOR THE ISLAND OF MOLOKAI,"

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this resolution is to request that the Department of Transportation (DOT), in conjunction with the County of Maui, examine the feasibility of constructing bridges across streams where highways are susceptible to flooding on the island of Molokai.

DOT testified in support of the intent of the measure.

Your Committee understands that it will take time to conduct the feasibility study on the construction of bridges across streams that flood the highways on Molokai.

Accordingly, your Committee has amended this measure by:

(1) Changing the title to read: "REQUESTING A FEASIBILITY STUDY OF BUILDING BRIDGES ACROSS STREAMS FOR HIGHWAYS ON THE ISLAND OF MOLOKAI";

(2) Changing the due date of the report to the Legislature to at least 20 days before the convening of the Regular Session of 2004; and

(3) Making technical, nonsubstantive amendments for purposes of clarity, consistency, and style.

As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Transportation that is attached to this report, your Committee concurs with the intent and purpose of H.R. No. 63, as amended herein, and recommends that it be referred to the Committee on Finance in the form attached hereto as H.R. No. 63, H.D. 1.

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Transportation,
