H.D. 1
Honorable Scott K. Saiki
Speaker, House of Representatives
Thirty-Second State Legislature
Regular Session of 2023
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committee on Education, to which was referred S.B. No. 832, S.D. 2, H.D. 1, entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO EDUCATION,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose of this measure is to:
(1) Authorize the School Facilities Authority to:
(A) Acquire real property from a county;
(B) Adopt administrative rules that supersede all other inconsistent ordinances and rules relating to the zoning of land and construction;
(C) Engage in commercial enterprise activities; and
(D) Contract to manage the leasing and property management of housing projects;
(2) Exempt the School Facilities Authority from county assessments and state taxes;
(3) Authorize state and county agencies to render services to the School Facilities Authority upon request of the Authority; and
(4) Establish a deadline for the transfer of properties from the City and County of Honolulu to the Department of Education pursuant to Act 206, Session Laws of Hawaii 2017, as amended by Act 272, Session Laws of Hawaii 2019.
Your Committee finds that the additional authority given by this measure to the School Facilities Authority will allow the Authority to partner with other state and county agencies to carry out its work in developing facilities that will be of benefit for Hawaii's education system.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Education that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 832, S.D. 2, H.D. 1, and recommends that it be referred to your Committee on Finance.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Education,
