RE:   H.B. No. 955

 

 

 

 

Honorable Joseph M. Souki

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-Eighth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2015

State of Hawaii

 

Sir:

 

     Your Committee on Water & Land, to which was referred H.B. No. 955 entitled:

 

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

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose of this measure is to clarify that the marine surveyor inspection, documentation of vessel ownership, and proof of age requirements of section 200-10(b), Hawaii Revised Statutes, are not prerequisites for placement on a waiting list to obtain a use permit to moor a vessel in a state small boat harbor.

 

     The Department of Land and Natural Resources provided testimony in support of this measure.

 

     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. 955 and recommends that it pass Second Reading and be referred to the Committee on Finance.

 

 

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