RE: H.C.R. No. 101

 

 

 

Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-Third State Legislature

Regular Session of 2006

State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committee on Agriculture, to which was referred H.C.R. No. 101 entitled:

"HOUSE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION REQUESTING THE DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE TO STUDY THE FEASIBILITY OF ALLOWING CAMPING WITHIN STATE AGRICULTURAL DISTRICTS AND IF FEASIBLE, TO SPECIFY UNDER WHAT CONDITIONS CAMPING SHOULD BE ALLOWED,"

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this concurrent resolution is to promote affordable accommodations for inter-island travelers by requesting the Department of Agriculture (DOA) to study the feasibility of allowing camping within state agricultural districts and, if feasible, specify the conditions under which camping should be allowed.

The Hawaii Agriculture Research Center opposed this measure. DOA submitted comments.

As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Agriculture that is attached to this report, your Committee concurs with the intent and purpose of H.C.R. No. 101 and recommends its adoption.

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Agriculture,
