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. 2588, S.D. 1, H.D. 1, entitled:

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO HOUSING,"

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 appropriate funds to the Hawaii Public Housing Authority for the rehabilitation, remodeling, renovation, and repair of housing units.

This measure supports the Hawaii Public Housing Authority's efforts to renovate its existing affordable housing inventory by appropriating funds to the Hawaii Public Housing Authority for this purpose.

Your Committee on Conference has amended this measure by:

(1) Inserting an appropriation amount of $5,000,000; and

(2) Inserting an effective date of July 1, 2022.

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. 2588, S.D. 1, H.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Final Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 2588, S.D. 1, H.D. 1, C.D. 1.
