Your Committee on Water, Land Use, and Hawaiian Affairs, to which was referred H.B. No. 2439 entitled:

The state Department of Defense testified in support of this bill.

As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Water, Land Use, and Hawaiian Affairs that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 2439 and recommends that it pass Third Reading.
