RE: H.B. No. 2570

H.D. 1

Honorable Scott K. Saiki

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-Ninth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2018

State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committee on Finance, to which was referred H.B. No. 2570, H.D. 1, entitled:

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO ROAD REPAIR AND MAINTENANCE IN HOUSING SUBDIVISIONS,"

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this measure is to establish a three-year pilot project to require the Department of Transportation, in conjunction with counties having a population of more than 180,000 but less than 250,000, to address the problem of substandard roads in housing subdivisions that are not part of a planned community. This measure also requires the county to collect fees from lot owners in the housing subdivision to pay for the maintenance and repair of the roads.

Several concerned individuals testified in support of this measure. The Department of Transportation and the Mayor of the County of Hawaii provided comments.

As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Finance that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 2570, H.D. 1, and recommends that it pass Third Reading.

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