Honorable Robert Bunda

President of the Senate

Twenty-Second State Legislature

Regular Session of 2003

State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committee on Judiciary and Hawaiian Affairs, to which was referred S.B. No. 1413 entitled:

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this measure is to extend the date at which the unexpended or unencumbered funds appropriated by the Legislature or remaining in the infrastructure development fund for the Kikala-Keokea area of the island of Hawaii is scheduled to lapse.

Testimony in support of this measure was received from the Board of Land and Natural Resources (DLNR) and Office of Hawaiian Affairs.

The lapse date is changed from June 30, 2004, to December 31, 2004, to allow the DLNR more time to complete infrastructure improvements. Without this measure, the DLNR could not expend any funds after June 30, 2004.

As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Judiciary and Hawaiian Affairs that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 1413 and recommends that it pass Second Reading and be referred to the Committee on Ways and Means.
