STAND. COM. REP. NO. 686-22

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 Judiciary & Hawaiian Affairs, 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 obsolete or unnecessary provisions relating to Kewalo Basin use permits, Honolulu Harbor use permits, and the maintenance of fire boats.

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

Your Committee finds that there are certain provisions in existing law relating to Kewalo Basin and Honolulu Harbor use permits under the Department of Transportation that are no longer necessary. In addition, the Department of Transportation no longer owns any fireboats, making any statutory language relating to this unnecessary. This measure will act as a housekeeping measure by deleting unnecessary provisions in statute.

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. 2180 and recommends that it pass Third Reading.

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

____________________________
