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. 1127 entitled:

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO TRANSFERABILITY OF MOORING PERMITS,"

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this measure is to allow holders of a mooring permit within state small boat harbors to transfer the permit upon the sale of the holder's vessel, if the sale price of the vessel is not less than fair market value and the holder pays a transfer fee to the Department of Land and Natural Resources.

The Department of Land and Natural Resources and one concerned individual testified in support of this measure.

Your Committee has amended this measure by changing the effective date to July 1, 2050, to encourage further discussion.

     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. 1127, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 1127, H.D. 1, and be referred to your Committee on Judiciary.

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