Sir:
Your Committee on Finance, to which was referred S.B. No. 2478, S.D. 2, H.D. 1, entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO IMPACT FEES,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose of this bill is to:
(1) Allow the Department of Education (DOE) to assess and collect impact fees through an intergovernmental agreement with a county, as fair share contributions of developers for the construction of state educational facilities, with the funds collected to be used toward capital improvement projects for public schools; and
(2) Clarify that in a land use district boundary amendment proceeding, the Land Use Commission may impose impact fees.
DOE and Castle and Cook Hawaii testified in support of this bill. The Department of Planning and Permitting of the City and County of Honolulu supported the intent of this measure. The Land Use Research Foundation of Hawaii, Hawaii Leeward Planning Conference, Gentry Homes, Ltd., Mililani/Waipio/Melemanu Neighborhood Board No. 25, and two members of the Hawaii County Council testified in opposition to this bill.
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 S.B. No. 2478, S.D. 2, H.D. 1, and recommends that it pass Third Reading.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Finance,
