STAND. COM. REP. NO. 1540-22

Honolulu, Hawaii

, 2022

RE: H.R. No. 112

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 Legislative Management, to which was referred H.R. No. 112 entitled:

"HOUSE RESOLUTION REQUESTING THE STATE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TO CREATE A DEPARTMENT OF HAWAIIAN HOME LANDS HOUSING CONSTRUCTION OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE,"

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this measure is to request the State House of Representatives to create a Department of Hawaiian Home Lands Housing Construction Oversight Committee.

Your Committee received testimony in opposition to this measure from the Department of Hawaiian Home Lands.

Your Committee finds that the investment of $600,000,000 toward the implementation of the Hawaiian Homes Commission Act would represent a historic infusion of resources to address the needs of thousands of beneficiaries on the Department of Hawaiian Home Lands waiting list. This measure intends to provide a mechanism for oversight of those funds.

Your Committee has amended this measure by:

(1) Establishing the oversight committee, rather than requesting it be established;

(2) Amending its title accordingly;

(3) Requesting the Speaker of the House of Representatives to appoint the members of the oversight committee and specifying their qualifications; and

(4) Making technical, nonsubstantive amendments for the purposes of clarity, consistency, and style.

As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Legislative Management that is attached to this report, your Committee concurs with the intent and purpose of H.R. No. 112, as amended herein, and recommends that it be referred to your Committee on Judiciary & Hawaiian Affairs in the form attached hereto as H.R. No. 112, H.D. 1.

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Legislative Management,
