COM. REP. NO. 1763
Honolulu, Hawaii
, 2021
RE: S.C.R. No. 247
S.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 Agriculture, to which was referred S.C.R. No. 247, S.D. 1, entitled:
"SENATE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION REQUESTING THAT A WORKING GROUP BE CONVENED TO DEVELOP RECOMMENDATIONS TO FACILITATE HOMESTEAD AGRICULTURAL DEMONSTRATION PROJECTS IN THE STATE,"
begs leave to report as follows:
Your Committee finds that the Sovereign Council of Hawaiian Homestead Associations are pursuing homestead agricultural demonstration projects to increase small farm capacity, homestead community ranching capacity, and farming and ranching supportive affordable housing for farming and ranching on the islands of Molokai and Kauai. This measure seeks to establish a working group to develop recommendations to facilitate the Sovereign Council of Hawaiian Homestead Associations' homestead agricultural demonstration projects, which would increase participation in livestock ranching, incorporate rental housing for farm and ranching workers, and hopefully serve as a replicable model for homesteads on other islands.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Agriculture that is attached to this report, your Committee concurs with the intent and purpose of S.C.R. No. 247, S.D. 1, and recommends that it be referred to your Committee on Judiciary & Hawaiian Affairs.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Agriculture,
