Sir:

Your Committee on Water and Land, to which was referred S.B. No. 906 entitled:

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO WAILOA SMALL BOAT HARBOR,"

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose and intent of this measure is to provide funds for improvements to the Wailoa small boat harbor.

Your Committee received testimony in support of this measure from the Department of Land and Natural Resources, Aha Moku Advisory Committee, Office of the Mayor of the County of Hawai‘i, and Activities & Attractions Association of Hawaii.

Your Committee finds that the Wailoa small boat harbor in Hilo, Hawaii, a popular harbor for residents and visitors to engage in recreational and commercial activities, is in need of improvements. Therefore, your Committee finds it proper to appropriate funds for the Division of Boating and Ocean Recreation to make improvements to the Wailoa small boat harbor.

Your Committee has amended this measure by inserting an effective date of July 1, 2050, to encourage further discussion.

As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Water and Land that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 906, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 906, S.D. 1, and be referred to your Committee on Ways and Means.

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