State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committees on Ways and Means and Judiciary, to which was referred H.B. No. 1091, H.D. 1, entitled:

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO SEWER TRANSMISSION LINES,"

beg leave to report as follows:

The purpose and intent of this measure is to require counties to accept, within sixty days after receipt of a completed application for maintenance request, licenses or dedications of sewer transmission lines and related sewerage facilities servicing Hawaiian Home Lands that are brought into compliance by the Department of Hawaiian Home Lands.

Your Committees received written comments in support of this measure from the Department of Hawaiian Home Lands.

Your Committees find that the Department of Hawaiian Home Lands manages sewer transmission lines that are to be transferred to the various counties for long-term management and maintenance. Your Committees further find that this measure will ensure that compliant sewer transmission lines are transferred to the counties in a timely manner.

Your Committees have amended this measure by changing the effective date to July 1, 2050, to facilitate further discussion on the measure.

As affirmed by the records of votes of the members of your Committees on Ways and Means and Judiciary that are attached to this report, your Committees are in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 1091, H.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommend that it pass Third Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 1091, H.D. 1, S.D. 1.
