RE: H.B. No. 1552

H.D. 1

Honorable Scott K. Saiki

Speaker, House of Representatives

Thirty-First State Legislature

Regular Session of 2022

State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committee on Water & Land, to which was referred H.B. No. 1552 entitled:

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO THE STADIUM DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT,"

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this measure is to clarify the composition of members of the Stadium Authority as added by Act 146, Session Laws of Hawaii 2021.

Your Committee received testimony in support of this measure from the Stadium Authority. Your Committee received comments on this measure from the University of Hawaii System.

Your Committee finds that the addition of two new members to the Stadium Authority, as provided in this measure, will ensure that there is an appropriate number of members in any given year as departing members end their final term and newly appointed members begin their term.

Your Committee has amended this measure by:

(1) Changing its effective date to July 1, 2050, to encourage further discussion; and

(2) Making a technical, nonsubstantive amendment 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 H.B. No. 1552, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 1552, H.D. 1, and be referred to your Committee on Finance.

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