Sirs:

     Your Committee on Conference on the disagreeing vote of the Senate to the amendments proposed by the House of Representatives in S.B. No. 715, S.D. 2, H.D. 1, entitled:

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO THE SPECIAL ACTION TEAM ON AFFORDABLE RENTAL HOUSING,"

having met, and after full and free discussion, has agreed to recommend and does recommend to the respective Houses the final passage of this bill in an amended form.

     The purpose of this measure is to add the Executive Director of the Hawaii Community Development Authority and the Executive Director of the Hawaii Public Housing Authority to the Special Action Team on Affordable Rental Housing.

     Your Committee on Conference finds that the Hawaii Community Development Authority has jurisdiction over areas conducive to the development of affordable rental housing, and the Hawaii Public Housing Authority provides affordable rental housing for low-income families and individuals.  Because of the subject matter and mission of the respective agencies, your Committee on Conference further finds that the addition of the Executive Director of the Hawaii Community Development Authority and the Executive Director of the Hawaii Public Housing Authority would be valuable to the Special Action Team on Affordable Rental Housing.

     Your Committee on Conference has amended this measure by changing the effective date to July 1, 2017.

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the managers of your Committee on Conference that is attached to this report, your Committee on Conference is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 715, S.D. 2, H.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Final Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 715, S.D. 2, H.D. 1, C.D. 1.
