STAND. COM. REP. NO. 3924

Honolulu, Hawaii

RE: H.B. No. 1552

H.D. 1

S.D. 1

Honorable Ronald D. Kouchi

President of the Senate

Thirty-First State Legislature

Regular Session of 2022

State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committee on Ways and Means, to which was referred H.B. No. 1552, H.D. 1, entitled:

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

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose and intent of this measure is to increase from eleven to thirteen the number of members of the Stadium Authority.

Your Committee received written comments in support of this measure from the Stadium Authority.

Your Committee finds that the appointment of two new members to the Stadium Authority will benefit and support the Authority and will ensure that there are an appropriate number of board members in any given year, as departing members end their final terms and newly-appointed members begin their new terms.

Your Committee has amended this measure by clarifying that certain citizenship and residency requirements only apply to the appointed members of the Stadium Authority.

As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Ways and Means that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 1552, H.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Third Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 1552, H.D. 1, S.D. 1.

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Ways and Means,
