Honorable Scott K. Saiki

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. 879, S.D. 1, H.D. 2, entitled:

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO COUNTIES,"

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 require the counties to assume responsibility to maintain infrastructure as part of any housing development for the Department of Hawaiian Home Lands within sixty days of the receipt of a maintenance request and under specified conditions.

Your Committee on Conference finds that the Department of Hawaiian Home Lands often has the responsibility to maintain infrastructure despite county requirements. Therefore, this measure requires counties to provide for the maintenance of Department of Hawaiian Home Lands infrastructure within sixty days of receipt of an application for maintenance request by the county.

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. 879, S.D. 1, H.D. 2, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Final Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 879, S.D. 1, H.D. 2, C.D. 1.

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the managers:
