RE: H.C.R. No. 238

 

 

 

Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-Third State Legislature

Regular Session of 2006

State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committee on Water, Land, & Ocean Resources, to which was referred H.C.R. No. 238 entitled:

"HOUSE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION STRONGLY REQUESTING THE DEPARTMENT OF LAND AND NATURAL RESOURCES TO ENFORCE ITS MOORAGE PERMITTING RULES IN KANEOHE BAY,"

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this concurrent resolution is to request the Department of Land and Natural Resources (DLNR) to resolve the problems created by the "squatter barge" in Kaneohe Bay by:

(1) Enforcing its mooring permitting rules, as set forth by the Attorney General in its expedited opinion; and

(2) Amending its rules such that DLNR can clearly deal with the "squatter barge" and future similar problems without delay and confusion.

A concerned individual testified in strong support of this bill. DLNR provided comments.

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 concurs with the intent and purpose of H.C.R. No. 238 and recommends its adoption.

 

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Water, Land, & Ocean Resources,
