STAND. COM. REP. NO. 3271

Honolulu, Hawaii

RE: H.B. No. 2180

Honorable Ronald D. Kouchi

President of the Senate

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 and intent 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 section 266-2.3, Hawaii Revised Statutes, relates to authority of Kewalo Harbor which is no longer under the purview of the Department of Transportation. Section 266-22, Hawaii Revised Statutes, relates to the Honolulu Harbor fireboat which is no longer in service. For these reasons, the purpose of this measure is to repeal both sections.

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.

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

________________________________
