       S.D. 1

       C.D. 1

Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-Sixth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2011

State of Hawaii

Honorable Shan S. Tsutsui

President of the Senate

Twenty-Sixth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2011

State of Hawaii

Sirs:

     Your Committee on Conference on the disagreeing vote of the House of Representatives to the amendments proposed by the Senate in H.B. No. 931, S.D. 1, entitled:

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO SMALL BOAT HARBORS,"

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 bill is to address the problems of:

     (1)  Numerous vessels moored within small boat harbor facilities that rarely leave the harbor confines and offshore mooring areas; and

     (2)  Derelict vessels occupying space in small boat harbors,

by adding a definition for the term "regularly navigated" under chapter 200, Hawaii Revised Statutes, to require vessels that are moored within small boat harbors or in offshore mooring areas to be moved under their own power at least once every six months.

     After careful consideration, your Committee on Conference has amended this bill by changing the frequency of movement of a "regularly navigated" vessel from at least once every six months to at least once in a 90-day period.

     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 H.B. No. 931, S.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Final Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 931, S.D. 1, C.D. 1.

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the managers:

ON THE PART OF THE SENATE
