STAND. COM. REP. NO. 2907

 

Honolulu, Hawaii

                  

 

RE:    H.B. No. 2481

       H.D. 1

 

 

 

Honorable Shan S. Tsutsui

President of the Senate

Twenty-Sixth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2012

State of Hawaii

 

Sir:

 

     Your Committees on Water, Land, and Housing and Economic Development and Technology, to which was referred H.B. No. 2481, H.D. 1, entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO THE HAWAII COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY,"

 

beg leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose and intent of this measure is to clarify the notice requirements for public hearings held by the Hawaii Community Development Authority.

 

     Your Committees received testimony in support of this measure from the Hawaii Community Development Authority.

 

     Your Committees find that it is unclear whether the Hawaii Community Development Authority must publish its notice in a publication with statewide or county-wide circulation to provide notice of its hearings.  This measure clarifies that rulemaking public hearings require statewide publication and development approval public hearings require county-wide publication in the affected county.

 

     As affirmed by the records of votes of the members of your Committees on Water, Land, and Housing and Economic Development and Technology that are attached to this report, your Committees are in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 2481, H.D. 1, and recommend that it pass Second Reading and be referred to the Committee on Judiciary and Labor.

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committees on Water, Land, and Housing and Economic Development and Technology,
