STAND. COM. REP. NO. 1038
Honolulu, Hawaii
, 2011
RE: S.B. No. 119
S.D. 2
H.D. 1
Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say
Speaker, House of Representatives
Twenty-Sixth State Legislature
Regular Session of 2011
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committee on Water, Land, & Ocean Resources, to which was referred S.B. No. 119, S.D. 2, entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO PUBLIC BUILDINGS,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose of this bill is to authorize the Department of Accounting and General Services (DAGS) to sell and lease-back public buildings to the public, excluding title to the land upon which the building or its grounds are situated. This measure also exempts from the Hawaii Public Procurement Code the operation and maintenance of public buildings sold under a lease-back arrangement.
CB Richard Ellis, Inc., supported this bill. DAGS and a concerned individual opposed this measure. The Department of Budget and Finance offered comments.
After careful consideration, your Committee has amended this bill by deleting its contents and inserting the provisions of H.B. No. 1505, H.D. 2, which addresses the State's significant backlog of deferred facility maintenance and promotes new construction projects by establishing public-private partnerships through the State Facility Renovation Partnership Program. Technical, nonsubstantive amendments to the inserted provisions have also been made for the purposes of clarity, consistency, and style.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Water, Land, & Ocean Resources that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 119, S.D. 2, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 119, S.D. 2, H.D. 1, and be referred to the Committee on Finance.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Water, Land, & Ocean Resources,
