Honorable Robert Bunda

President of the Senate

Twenty-Third State Legislature

Regular Session of 2006

State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committee on Ways and Means, to which was referred S.B. No. 2025 entitled:

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this measure is to extend the time in which impact fees collected may be expended or encumbered by a county or board from six to ten years.

Your Committee finds that this extension will promote better planning in the construction of public facilities that are paid for in part by impact fees. This in turn will promote the better and more effective use of the impact fees.

As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Ways and Means that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 2025 and recommends that it pass Third Reading.
