STAND. COM. REP. 3266
Honolulu, Hawaii
, 2004
RE: H.B. No. 2703
H.D. 1
S.D. 2
Honorable Robert Bunda
President of the Senate
Twenty-Second State Legislature
Regular Session of 2004
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committee on Ways and Means, to which was referred H.B. No. 2703, H.D. 1, S.D. 1, entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO IMPACT FEES,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose of this measure is to allow the counties to assess, impose, levy, and collect impact fees for state highway improvements.
This measure further establishes a highway development special fund, to be administered by the state Department of Transportation, into which the counties shall transfer the impact fees collected.
Your Committee finds that under present law, the counties are allowed to assess, impose, levy, and collect impact fees from developments that impact public infrastructure and facilities. This measure will allow the counties to assess, impose, levy, and collect impact fees from developments that will have an impact on the state highway system.
Your Committee has amended this measure:
(1) By requiring the Department of Transportation to adopt a needs assessment study to identify the kinds of state highway facilities for which the fees shall be imposed;
(2) By making the new part to chapter 264, Hawaii Revised Statutes, being added by this measure, effective retroactively to October 1, 2002; and
(3) By making technical nonsubstantive changes for clarity and consistency.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Ways and Means that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 2703, H.D. 1, S.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Third Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 2703, H.D. 1, S.D. 2.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Ways and Means,
