STAND. COM. REP. NO. 1003

Honolulu, Hawaii

RE:    S.C.R. No. 28

Honorable Ronald D. Kouchi

President of the Senate

Twenty-Ninth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2017

State of Hawaii

Sir:

     Your Committee on Housing, to which was referred S.C.R. No. 28 entitled:

"SENATE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION APPROVING THE SALE OF THE LEASED FEE INTEREST IN 47-394 KEOHAPA PLACE, KANEOHE, HAWAII,"

begs leave to report as follows:

     The purpose and intent of this measure is to approve the sale of the leased fee interest in 47-394 Keohapa Place, Kaneohe, Hawaii.

     Your Committee received testimony in support of this measure from the Hawaii Housing Finance and Development Corporation and Department of Business, Economic Development, and Tourism.  Your Committee received comments on this measure from the Office of Hawaiian Affairs and one individual.

     Your Committee finds that section 171-64.7, Hawaii Revised Statutes, requires the prior approval of the Legislature by concurrent resolution to sell or gift certain state lands in fee simple, and specifies information that must be included in the resolution and other prerequisites to the sale.  Your Committee further finds that the sale of the leased fee interest in 47-394 Keohapa Place, Kaneohe, Hawaii, falls under section 171-64.7, Hawaii Revised Statutes, and that the Hawaii Housing Finance and Development Corporation has met all statutory prerequisites to request approval of the sale of the property.

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Housing that is attached to this report, your Committee concurs with the intent and purpose of S.C.R. No. 28 and recommends that it be referred to your Committee on Ways and Means.

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Housing,
