Sir:
Your Committee on Finance, to which was referred S.B. No. 2693, S.D. 1, entitled:

The purpose of this bill is to direct the Department of Land and Natural Resources (DLNR) to investigate various types of community-based sponsorship options prior to the commencement of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' planned Helemano-Paukauila-Kaukonahua watershed management project on the North Shore of Oahu.
Specifically, this bill requires DLNR to:

(2) Report its findings to the 2005 Legislature, including submitting a financial plan for the creation of an agency-business-community partnership that focuses on serving local community needs.
The Board of Land and Natural Resources provided comments.
Your Committee has amended this bill by:
(1) Changing the effective date to July 1, 2010, to promote further discussion; and
(2) Making technical, nonsubstantive amendments for clarity 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 S.B. No. 2693, S.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Third Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 2693, S.D. 1, H.D. 1.
