STAND. COM. REP. NO. 487-06
Honolulu, Hawaii
, 2006
RE: H.B. No. 3149
H.D. 1
Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say
Speaker, House of Representatives
Twenty-Third State Legislature
Regular Session of 2006
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committees on Water, Land, & Ocean Resources and Housing, to which was referred H.B. No. 3149 entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO LAND TRANSFER,"
beg leave to report as follows:
The purpose of this bill is to provide for the proper maintenance of the remnant parcel abutting the Inoaole Stream that is currently under the jurisdiction of the Hawaii Housing Finance and Development Administration (HHFDA) by:
(1) Transferring control and custody from HHFDA to the Department of Land and Natural Resources (DLNR) of the remnant lot abutting the Hale Aupuni subdivision in Waimanalo; and
(2) Requiring DLNR to use best management practices in the maintenance of the riparian area of the remnant lot.
The Housing and Community Development Corporation of Hawaii testified in support of this bill. DLNR opposed this measure.
Your Committees find that the two agencies being considered to maintain the remnant lot discussed in this measure have different view points as to who is most suitable to have jurisdiction over the property. Your Committees encourage further discussion to determine which agency is most appropriate.
Accordingly, your Committees have amended this bill by:
(1) Changing the effective date to July 1, 2020, to encourage further discussion; and
(2) Making technical, nonsubstantive amendments for clarity, consistency, and style.
As affirmed by the records of votes of the members of your Committees on Water, Land, & Ocean Resources and Housing that are attached to this report, your Committees are in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 3149, as amended herein, and recommend that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 3149, H.D. 1, and be referred to the Committee on Finance.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committees on Water, Land, & Ocean Resources and Housing,
