STAND. COM. REP. NO. 336
Honolulu, Hawaii
, 2007
RE: H.B. No. 487
H.D. 1
Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say
Speaker, House of Representatives
Twenty-Fourth State Legislature
Regular Session of 2007
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committee on Human Services & Housing, to which was referred H.B. No. 487 entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO HOUSING PROGRAMS,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose of this bill is to make housekeeping amendments relating to references that were affected by the split of the Housing and Community Development Corporation of Hawaii (HCDCH) into the Hawaii Housing Finance and Development Corporation (HHFDC) and the Hawaii Public Housing Authority (HPHA).
HHFDC testified in support of this bill. HPHA provided comments.
Your Committee notes that this measure is a result of Section 14 of Act 180, Session Laws of Hawaii 2006, which required the Legislative Reference Bureau to prepare legislation to substitute statutory references resulting from the HCDCH split. Additionally, HHFDC noted further corrections and clarifying amendments.
Accordingly, your Committee has amended this bill by:
(1) Correcting a reference relating to homeless programs, which fall under the purview of HPHA;
(2) Changing a reference to the "developments known as Kealakehe and Lahaina" to "the villages of Leal'i, Maui and villages of La'i'opua, Hawaii," for consistency; and
(3) Making technical, nonsubstantive amendments for clarity, consistency, and style.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Human Services & Housing that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 487, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 487, H.D. 1, and be referred to the Committee on Finance.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Human Services & Housing,
