STAND. COM. REP. NO. 307-22

Honolulu, Hawaii

, 2022

RE: H.B. No. 2180

Honorable Scott K. Saiki

Speaker, House of Representatives

Thirty-First State Legislature

Regular Session of 2022

State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committee on Transportation, to which was referred H.B. No. 2180 entitled:

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO HARBORS,"

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this measure is to repeal sections 266-2.3 and 266-22, Hawaii Revised Statutes, for the purpose of deleting obsolete or unnecessary provisions.

Your Committee received testimony in support of this measure from the Department of Transportation.

Your Committee finds that because oversight of Kewalo Basin is under the purview of the Hawaii Community Development Authority, section 266-2.3, Hawaii Revised Statutes, should be repealed to reflect that shared permitting and expense items are wholly with the Authority. Additionally, because the Department of Transportation no longer owns any fireboats, section 266-22, Hawaii Revised Statutes, should be repealed.

As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Transportation that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 2180 and recommends that it pass Second Reading and be referred to your Committee on Judiciary & Hawaiian Affairs.

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Transportation,
