Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say

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. 3180, S.D. 1, H.D. 2, entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO THE COUNTIES,"
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 require counties to adopt ordinances to allow buildings designed using practices, styles, customs, and materials from indigenous Hawaiian architecture.
Traditional Hawaiian architecture is becoming a rare occurrence in its
native home. Much knowledge is being lost as kūpuna familiar with the techniques and protocols pass away, without the opportunity to pass on their knowledge and abilities by example.Your Committee on Conference has amended this measure to specify that the application of indigenous Hawaiian architecture must be consistent with the intent and purpose of the uniquely designated, special, or historic district, such as in the case of the Lahaina Historical District on Maui and the Waikiki Special District on Oahu. Your Committee on Conference also amended this measure to change the effective date to July 1, 2006.
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. 3180, S.D. 1, H.D. 2, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Final Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 3180, S.D. 1, H.D. 2, C.D. 1.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the managers:
