STAND. COM. REP. NO.  1026-12

Honolulu, Hawaii

                , 2012

RE:   S.B. No. 3011

      S.D. 2

      H.D. 1

Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-Sixth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2012

State of Hawaii

Sir:

     Your Committee on Water, Land, & Ocean Resources, to which was referred S.B. No. 3011, S.D. 2, entitled:

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO PUBLIC LANDS,"

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this measure is to require the Department of Land and Natural Resources to transfer three parcels of land located in Kunia, Oahu, to the Agribusiness Development Corporation.

The Agribusiness Development Corporation supported this measure.  The Office of Hawaiian Affairs opposed this measure.  The Department of Agriculture and the Department of Land and Natural Resources commented on this measure.

     Your Committee has amended this measure by requiring the Department of Agriculture, rather than the Department of Land and Natural Resources, to transfer the parcels to the Agribusiness Development Corporation.

     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. 3011, S.D. 2, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 3011, S.D. 2, H.D. 1, and be referred to the Committee on Agriculture.

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Water, Land, & Ocean Resources,

____________________________
