Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-Fourth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2008

State of Hawaii

 

Sir:

 

     Your Committee on Water, Land, Ocean Resources & Hawaiian Affairs, to which was referred H.B. No. 2428 entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO HIGHWAYS,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose of this bill is to speed up project delivery and save time and money on state highway projects by exempting the acquisition, construction, and other administration of state highways by the Department of Transportation (DOT) from county subdivision requirements.

 

     DOT and the Chamber of Commerce of Hawaii testified in support of this bill.  The City and County of Honolulu Department of Planning and Permitting opposed this measure.

 

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Water, Land, Ocean Resources & Hawaiian Affairs that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 2428 and recommends that it pass Third Reading.

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Water, Land, Ocean Resources & Hawaiian Affairs,
