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 Judiciary & Hawaiian Affairs, to which was referred H.B. No. 1670, H.D. 1, entitled:

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO LAND USE DISTRICT BOUNDARIES,"

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this measure is to establish a Boundary Review Committee within the Land Use Commission to promptly and efficiently resolve boundary disputes brought before the Land Use Commission.

Your Committee received testimony in support of this measure from the Land Use Commission.

Your Committee finds that this measure will streamline government processes by providing the public with a less cost prohibitive and more efficient process for resolving boundary determinations that are not associated with any planning or public policy issues.

As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Judiciary & Hawaiian Affairs that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 1670, H.D. 1, and recommends that it be referred to your Committee on Finance.

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Judiciary & Hawaiian Affairs,
