RE:    S.B. No. 3166

       H.D. 1

       C.D. 1

Honorable Colleen Hanabusa

President of the Senate

Twenty-Fourth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2008

State of Hawaii

Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-Fourth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2008

State of Hawaii

Madam and 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. 3166, H.D. 1, entitled:

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO THE HAWAII COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY,"

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 provide for the designation of at least two members of the Hawaii Community Development Authority as representatives of small businesses located in the Kakaako Community Development District.

     Your Committee on Conference finds that this measure would assure that the purpose of section 206E‑1, Hawaii Revised Statutes, is met.  The designation of these small business representatives would further one of the Legislature's stated intentions for forming the Hawaii Community Development Authority, which was to address insufficient commercial and industrial facilities for rent.

     Your Committee on Conference has amended this measure by changing the effective date from July 1, 2034, to 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. 3166, H.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Final Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 3166, H.D. 1, C.D. 1.

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the managers:

ON THE PART OF THE HOUSE
