TWENTY-FOURTH LEGISLATURE, 2008

 

STATE OF HAWAII

 

 

 

 

 

 

A BILL FOR AN ACT


 

 

relating to Ulaino road on maui.

 

 

BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF HAWAII:

 



     SECTION 1.  The legislature finds that Ulaino road, a gravel roadway on Maui, runs from the Hana highway junction to the Muliwai in Ulaino, a distance of approximately four miles.  Although there are numerous homes along Ulaino road, a jurisdictional dispute exists over the ownership of the road.  Despite a recent court decision that found the roadway to be privately owned, the legislature believes that a legal opinion by the attorney general with respect to the jurisdiction of the roadway would assist in clarifying this issue.

     SECTION 2.  The department of the attorney general shall investigate and issue an opinion as to the ownership of Ulaino road and submit its opinion, including any legislation deemed necessary to clarify legal jurisdiction of the road to the legislature no later than twenty days before the convening of the regular session of 2009.

     SECTION 3.  This Act shall take effect upon its approval.
