STAND. COM. REP. NO. 2739
Honolulu, Hawaii
RE: S.B. No. 2387
Honorable Ronald D. Kouchi
President of the Senate
Thirty-Second State Legislature
Regular Session of 2024
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committee on Judiciary, to which was referred S.B. No. 2387 entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO OWNERS OF LAND,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose and intent of this measure is to correct erroneous references in chapters 520 and 520A, Hawaii Revised Statutes.
Your Committee received no testimony on this measure.
Your Committee finds that sections 520-3 and 520-4(a), Hawaii Revised Statutes (HRS), erroneously refer to section 520-6, HRS, and should instead refer to section 520-5, HRS. Your Committee also finds that sections 520A-3 and 520A-4(a), HRS, erroneously refer to section 520A-6, HRS, and should instead refer to section 520A-5, HRS. Your Committee further finds that the Legislative Reference Bureau's revision bill is not the correct vehicle to make these changes, since there are questions of legislative intent. This measure will therefore correct erroneous references in chapters 520 and 520A, HRS.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Judiciary that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 2387 and recommends that it pass Second Reading and be placed on the calendar for Third Reading.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Judiciary,
