COM. REP. NO. 543
Honolulu, Hawaii
, 2021
RE: H.B. No. 1028
Honorable Scott K. Saiki
Speaker, House of Representatives
Thirty-First State Legislature
Regular Session of 2021
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committee on Water & Land, to which was referred H.B. No. 1028 entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO THE KOKE'E STATE PARK ADVISORY COUNCIL,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose of this measure is to repeal the Koke‘e State Park Advisory Council.
Your Committee finds that the Koke‘e State Park Advisory Council was tasked to review and assist in updating and revising the Koke‘e State Park Master Plan, which was completed in 2014. Your Committee further finds that the Koke‘e State Park Advisory Council has not met since then and has fulfilled its statutory purpose. Therefore, coupled with other pressing state priorities and limited resources in the face of the coronavirus pandemic, your Committee believes that repealing the Koke‘e State Park Advisory Council will allow the State to focus its resources on more pressing matters.
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. 1028 and recommends that it pass Second Reading and be referred to your Committee on Judiciary & Hawaiian Affairs.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Water & Land,
|
