STAND. COM. REP. NO. 528-04

Honolulu, Hawaii

, 2004

RE: H.B. No. 87

H.D. 1

 

 

 

Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-Second State Legislature

Regular Session of 2004

State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committee on Water, Land Use, and Hawaiian Affairs, to which was referred H.B. No. 87 entitled:

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO LAND USE,"

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this bill is to effectuate its title.

H.B. No. 87 was introduced as a short-form bill, which is sometimes referred to as a "vehicle" bill primarily used to introduce a bill containing only a general idea as to the purpose of the bill without specific details in the long form.

Your Committee has amended the bill to provide the substantive contents of the bill in long form so that a public hearing may be properly held on its substantive contents.

The substantive comments added to the bill authorize the Board of Land and Natural Resources to enter into lease negotiations and to issue a direct lease to C&K Beach Services, Inc., for beach services that are operated in the Hawaiian beachboy tradition at Duke Kahanamoku Beach in Waikiki, Oahu. Your Committee has included specific criteria to ensure that the prospective lessee has a demonstrated record in providing such services in the Hawaiian beachboy tradition, as well as in other pertinent areas of service, community involvement, and expertise.

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 action to report out H.B. No. 87, as amended herein, and recommends that it be recommitted to the Committee on Water, Land Use, and Hawaiian Affairs, for the purpose of holding a public hearing thereon, in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 87, H.D. 1.

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Water, Land Use, and Hawaiian Affairs,
