Honorable Robert Bunda

President of the Senate

Twenty-Third State Legislature

Regular Session of 2006

State of Hawaii

Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-Third State Legislature

Regular Session of 2006

State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committee on Conference on the disagreeing vote of the Senate to the amendments proposed by the House of Representatives in S.B. No. 2487, H.D. 1, entitled:

having met, and after full and free discussion, has agreed to recommend and does recommend to the respective Houses the final passage of this bill in an amended form.

The purpose of this measure is to increase the number of members on the Hawaii Community Development Authority (HCDA).

Many states have an authority very similar to HCDA. However, many of those authorities have some type of oversight either at the State or the county level. Thus, your Committee on Conference finds that it would be appropriate to have some representatives sitting on HCDA who are appointed from a list submitted by the legislature. Accordingly, this measure provides that two additional members will be appointed by the Governor, one from a list submitted by the Senate President and one from a list submitted by the Speaker of the House of Representatives.

Your Committee on Conference has amended this measure by:

As affirmed by the record of votes of the managers of your Committee on Conference that is attached to this report, your Committee on Conference is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 2487, H.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Final Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 2487, H.D. 1, C.D. 1.
