COM. REP. NO. 1363
Honolulu, Hawaii
, 2021
RE: S.B. No. 795
S.D. 2
H.D. 1
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 S.B. No. 795, S.D. 2, entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO STATE SMALL BOAT HARBOR FEES,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose of this measure is to:
(1) Require the Division of Boating and Ocean Recreation of the Department of Land and Natural Resources to set its small boat harbor mooring and liveaboard fees at fair market value, as determined by a state-licensed appraiser, without separate nonresident fees and cost-of-living adjustments; and
(2) Allow the Division of Boating and Ocean Recreation an additional option in determining commercial ocean operation fees.
Your Committee finds that this measure will allow the Division of Boating and Ocean Recreation to maximize its revenue-generating potential and perform much needed repairs and maintenance on state small boat harbor facilities. This measure will also add the option to charge a commercial fee per passenger carried for hire, which would allow the Department to collect appropriate fee amounts in the event that an operator attempts to circumvent the gross receipt collection method.
Your Committee has amended this measure by:
(1) Removing the savings clause; and
(2) Making technical, nonsubstantive amendments for the purposes of clarity, consistency, and style.
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 S.B. No. 795, S.D. 2, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 795, S.D. 2, H.D. 1, and be referred to your Committee on Finance.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Water & Land,
