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.C.R. No. 70 entitled:

 

"HOUSE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE SALE OF A LEASE OF CERTAIN SUBMERGED LANDS AT KANEOHE BAY, KANEOHE, OAHU, FOR RECREATIONAL BOAT PIER PURPOSES, BY PUBLIC AUCTION,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose of this measure is to authorize the Board of Land and Natural Resources to lease a portion of state submerged lands seaward of the property identified as Tax Map Key:  (1) 44022:032, Kaneohe Bay, Kaneohe, Oahu, for recreational boat pier purposes pursuant to section 171-53(c), Hawaii Revised Statutes.

 

     Your Committee received testimony in support of this measure from the Department of Land and Natural Resources and Kaneohe Yacht Club.

 

     Your Committee finds that this measure authorizes the lease of submerged lands in Kaneohe Bay for recreational boat pier purposes.  Your Committee further finds that section 171-53(c), Hawaii Revised Statutes, requires the prior approval of the Governor and prior authorization of the Legislature by concurrent resolution to lease state submerged lands.

 

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Water & Land that is attached to this report, your Committee concurs with the intent and purpose of H.C.R. No. 70 and recommends that it be referred to your Committee on Consumer Protection & Commerce.

 

 

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