Sirs:

Your Committee on Conference on the disagreeing vote of the House of Representatives to the amendments proposed by the Senate in H.B. No. 1032, H.D. 2, S.D. 2, entitled:

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO STATE BOATING FACILITIES,"

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 authorize the Board of Land and Natural Resources to lease any existing state boating facility, including fast and submerged lands within the facility, in its entirety and without prior legislative approval for private development, management, and operation; provided that the lessee has fulfilled community engagement requirements and responded to community concerns regarding the lessee's proposed development plans. This measure also repeals an obsolete statutory provision regarding allowable leases of fast lands and submerged lands at Ala Wai Boat Harbor.

Your Committee on Conference has amended this measure by:

(1) Converting the authorization for the Board of Land and Natural Resources to lease any state boating facility in its entirety to a five-year state boating facility lease pilot program that:

(A) Authorizes the Board to lease Manele Small Boat Harbor on the island of Lanai in its entirety by public auction, request for proposals, or direct negotiation without prior legislative authorization; and

(B) Preserves the community engagement and community response requirements;

(2) Deleting the provision regarding lease of fast lands and submerged lands at Ala Wai Boat Harbor; and

(3) Making technical, nonsubstantive amendments for the purpose of clarity and consistency.

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 H.B. No. 1032, H.D. 2, S.D. 2, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Final Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 1032, H.D. 2, S.D. 2, C.D. 1.

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the managers:
