RE: H.B. No. 125
H.D. 2
Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say
Speaker, House of Representatives
Twenty-Third State Legislature
Regular Session of 2005
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committee on Water, Land, & Ocean Resources, to which was referred H.B. No. 125, H.D. 1, entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO OCEAN RESOURCES,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose of this bill is to allow Hawaiian outrigger canoe clubs (canoe clubs) registered with the Hawaiian Canoe Racing Association (HCRA) to keep their canoes on state shoreline areas.
The Board of Land and Natural Resources and C&K Beach Service Inc., supported the intent of this measure.
Your Committee has amended this bill by:
(1) Requiring that the canoe clubs work with the appropriate state or county agencies in finding the most appropriate locations and means of placing the canoes on the shoreline so as not to interfere with public access;
(2) Requiring that the canoe clubs acquire an annual revocable permit for use of the shoreline area from the appropriate state or county agency; and
(3) Making technical, nonsubstantive amendments for clarity, consistency, and style.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Water, Land, & Ocean Resources that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 125, H.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 125, H.D. 2, and be placed on the calendar for Third Reading.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Water, Land, & Ocean Resources,
