begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this concurrent resolution is to request the Department of Land and Natural Resources (DLNR) to rename Heeia State Park to Lae 'O Kealohi State Park to restore the ancient place name and to reflect the historical use of the area.

A concerned individual submitted testimony in support of this measure. DLNR offered comments.

Your Committee notes that testimony indicates community support for the name change, and that DLNR will include discussion regarding the name change in public meetings they will hold relating to the development of a plan for the Heeia region.

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 concurs with the intent and purpose of S.C.R. No. 209, S.D. 1, and recommends its adoption.
