Honorable Ronald D. Kouchi

Honorable Scott K. Saiki

Speaker, House of Representatives

Thirty-First State Legislature

Regular Session of 2022

State of Hawaii

Sirs:

Your Committee on Conference on the disagreeing vote of the Senate to the amendments proposed by the House of Representatives in S.B. No. 2251, S.D. 2, H.D. 2, entitled:

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO THE PUBLIC HOUSING AUTHORITY,"

having met, and after full and free discussion, has agreed to recommend and does recommend to the respective Houses the final passage of this bill in an amended form.

The purpose of this measure is to:

(1) Allow the Hawaii Public Housing Authority to develop mixed-income and mixed-financed housing projects; and

(2) Prohibit the development or construction of housing projects on ceded land that is vacant on or after January 1, 2022.

Your Committee on Conference finds that mixed-income and mixed-financed housing can significantly improve the State's ability to provide affordable housing by allowing flexibility in the development of new housing projects. This measure allows the Hawaii Public Housing Authority to develop mixed-income and mixed-financed housing, provided it does not develop or construct housing projects on ceded land that is vacant on or after January 1, 2022.

Your Committee on Conference has amended this measure by making it effective upon its approval.

As affirmed by the record of votes of the managers of your Committee on Conference that is attached to this report, your Committee on Conference is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 2251, S.D. 2, H.D. 2, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Final Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 2251, S.D. 2, H.D. 2, C.D. 1.

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the managers:
