Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say
Speaker, House of Representatives

Sir:
Your Committee on Water, Land Use, and Hawaiian Affairs, to which was referred H.B. No. 2496 entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO ENFORCEMENT,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose of this bill is to clarify the conservation and resources enforcement authority of the Department of Land and Natural Resources (DLNR). Specifically, this bill clarifies:
(1) DLNR's enforcement authority over the protection of caves, historic preservation, and the Kahoolawe Island Reserve; and
(2) That DLNR'S conservation and resources enforcement officers may enforce all other state laws and rules, and county ordinances, within all lands and waters of the State.
DLNR testified in support of this measure.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Water, Land Use, and Hawaiian Affairs that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 2496 and recommends that it pass Second Reading and be referred to the Committee on Judiciary.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Water, Land Use, and Hawaiian Affairs,
