Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-Third State Legislature

Regular Session of 2005

State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committees on Water, Land, & Ocean Resources and Public Safety & Military Affairs, to which was referred S.B. No. 1378, S.D. 2, entitled:

beg leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this bill is to designate the path that runs from Halawa Landing to Waipahu as the Pearl Harbor Historic Trail (Trail).

Your Committees find that the Trail is significant to the community as part of Hawaii's outdoor recreation and transportation network, as well as its contribution to enhancing environmental preservation and education. Statutory designation of the Trail will assist in meeting the necessary requirements for federal funding opportunities to support the planning, construction, and completion of the trail.

As affirmed by the records of votes of the members of your Committees on Water, Land, & Ocean Resources and Public Safety & Military Affairs that are attached to this report, your Committees are in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 1378, S.D. 2, and recommend that it pass Second Reading and be referred to the Committee on Finance.
