Your Committee on Water & Land, to which was referred H.B. No. 2043 entitled:

begs leave to report as follows:
Your Committee has amended this measure by:
(1) Changing the consequences of a Commission finding that a violation or failure to enforce has occurred from the reversion of reclassification or revocation of approval to stripping the county of its authority to approve future permits for the completion of the project and allocating the authority to the Commission;
(2) Deleting the subsection that made the counties bear the costs arising out of an investigation or hearing that results in an adverse disposition for the county;
(3) Adding a subsection that establishes an expedited process for judicial challenges to the Land Use Commission's determination;
(4) Changing the effective date to July 1, 2050, to encourage further discussion; and
(5) Making technical nonsubstantive amendments for the purpose of style, clarity, and consistency.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Water & Land that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 2043, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 2043, H.D. 1, and be referred to your Committee on Judiciary.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Water & Land,
