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. 819, S.D. 1, H.D. 1, entitled:

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO THE HAWAII HISTORIC PRESERVATION SPECIAL FUND,"

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 amend section 6E-16, Hawaii Revised Statutes by enabling the Department of Land and Natural Resources to:

(1) Deposit any civil, criminal, and administrative penalties, fines, and other charges collected under chapter 6E, Hawaii Revised Statutes or any rule adopted pursuant to chapter 6E into the Hawaii Historic Preservation Special Fund; and

(2) Expend money from the fund, subject to legislative authorization, for permanent and temporary staff positions, and to cover administrative and operational costs of the historic preservation program.

The Department of Land and Natural Resources is authorized under chapter 6E to assess penalties, fines, and other administrative charges. Your Committee on Conference finds that depositing collected fines into the Hawaii Historic Preservation Special Fund will allow the Department to improve its ability to administer the state historic preservation program.

Your Committee on Conference has amended this measure by changing the effective date from July 1, 2020, to taking effect upon its approval.

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. 819, S.D. 1, H.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Final Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 819, S.D. 1, H.D. 1, C.D. 1.

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the managers:

ON THE PART OF THE HOUSE
