The purpose of this bill is to ensure the proper maintenance of all properties within the Kalaeloa Community Development District (District) located in Leeward, Oahu, by clarifying the power of the Hawaii Community Development Authority (HCDA) to serve as an ombudsman.

(3) Report to the landowners in the District regarding the nature and number of complaints and inquiries to ensure proper notification at the highest levels.

The HCDA submitted testimony in support of this measure.

Your Committee has amended this bill by making technical, nonsubstantive amendments for clarity, consistency, and style.

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 H.B. No. 2394, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Third Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 2394, H.D. 1.

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