STAND. COM. REP. NO.  357

Honolulu, Hawaii

                , 2017

RE:   H.B. No. 400

Honorable Joseph M. Souki

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-Ninth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2017

State of Hawaii

Sir:

     Your Committee on Water & Land, to which was referred H.B. No. 400 entitled:

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO MAALAEA SMALL BOAT HARBOR,"

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this measure is to correct an error in the Supplemental Appropriations Act of 2016 by clarifying that the capital improvement project for Maalaea Small Boat Harbor on Maui was for plans, design, and construction for pier improvements, rather than dredging.  

The Department of Land and Natural Resources and Ocean Tourism Coalition testified 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. 400 and recommends that it pass Second Reading and be referred to your Committee on Finance.

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

____________________________
