STAND. COM. REP. NO. 2836
Honolulu, Hawaii
RE: S.B. No. 3084
S.D. 2
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. 3084, S.D. 1, entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO REAL PROPERTY,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose of this measure is to clarify the appraisal process for state acquisitions of real property.
Specifically, this measure permits land acquisition pursuant to chapter 173A, Hawaii Revised Statutes, relating to lands having value as a resource to the State, based upon an appraisal completed within six months if the Attorney General finds the appraisal was performed according to accepted professional standards.
Your Committee has amended this measure by:
(1) Clarifying that, in any case of the purchase of land by the State, the Attorney General, after consultation with the Department of Land and Natural Resources or another independent appraiser, may determine that the purchase of the land at a cost above appraisal may be justified; and
(2) Making technical nonsubstantive changes for consistency.
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. 3084, S.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Third Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 3084, S.D. 2.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Ways and Means,
|
