Honolulu, Hawaii

RE:    S.B. No. 1352

       S.D. 2

Honorable Colleen Hanabusa

President of the Senate

Twenty-Fourth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2007

State of Hawaii

Madam:

     Your Committee on Ways and Means, to which was referred S.B. No. 1352, S.D. 1, entitled:

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO HOUSING,"

begs leave to report as follows:

     The purpose of this measure is to correct inadvertent drafting errors in Act 180, Session Laws of Hawaii 2006, that resulted in amendments to the repealed chapter 201G, Hawaii Revised Statutes.

     Your Committee has received comments on this measure from the Chair and a member of the Maui County Council in support of this measure.  Your Committee has also received comments on this measure from the Hawaii Housing Finance and Development Corporation.

     Your Committee finds that this measure is a housekeeping measure that makes many nonsubstantive corrections to the Hawaii Revised Statutes due to drafting errors contained in Act 180, Session Laws of Hawaii 2006.

     Your Committee has made technical nonsubstantive changes to this measure for purposes of clarity and 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. 1352, S.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Third Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 1352, S.D. 2.

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Ways and Means,
