CONFERENCE COMMITTEE REP. NO. 59-04
Honolulu, Hawaii
, 2004
RE: S.B. No. 2928
H.D. 2
C.D. 1
Honorable Robert Bunda
President of the Senate
Twenty-Second State Legislature
Regular Session of 2004
State of Hawaii
Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say
Speaker, House of Representatives
Twenty-Second State Legislature
Regular Session of 2004
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committee on Conference on the disagreeing vote of the Senate to the amendments proposed by the House of Representatives in S.B. No. 2928, H.D. 2, entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO THE RENTAL HOUSING TRUST FUND ADVISORY COMMISSION,"
having met, and after full and free discussion, has agreed to recommend and does recommend to the respective Houses the final passage of this bill in an amended form.
The purpose of this measure is to repeal the Rental Housing Trust Fund Advisory Commission (Commission).
Your Committee on Conference finds that the Commission's role is to advise and inform the Housing and Community Development Corporation of Hawaii (HCDCH) on matters concerning the administration of the Rental Housing Trust Fund (Fund). Administrative responsibility for the Fund, however, rests with HCDCH. Consequently, housing developers seeking Fund loan approvals must make presentations to both the Commission and HCDCH. This measure eliminates this redundancy and waste of resources by repealing the Commission.
Your Committee on Conference has amended this measure:
(1) By deleting language proposing to replace the Commission's seat on the HCDCH Board of Directors with a representative of low-income housing, to avoid violating the State Constitution by exceeding the scope of the title; and
(2) To take effect upon its approval, rather than on July 1, 2010.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the managers of your Committee on Conference that is attached to this report, your Committee on Conference is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 2928, H.D. 2, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Final Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 2928, H.D. 2, C.D. 1.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the managers:
