RE:   S.B. No. 2790

      S.D. 1

 

 

 

 

Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-Sixth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2012

State of Hawaii

 

Sir:

 

     Your Committee on Hawaiian Affairs, to which was referred S.B. No. 2790, S.D. 1, entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO THE DEPARTMENT OF HAWAIIAN HOME LANDS,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose of this measure is to allow the Department of Hawaiian Home Lands to continue building affordable homes for its beneficiaries by extending the repeal date of the pilot project created by Act 187, Session Laws of Hawaii 2010, that enables the Department to begin housing and other projects without having the full amount of the cost of the projects on hand at the beginning of the project.

 

     The Department of Hawaiian Home Lands, Office of Hawaiian Affairs, Sovereign Councils of the Hawaiian Homelands Assembly, and numerous concerned individuals testified in support of this measure.

 

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Hawaiian Affairs that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 2790, S.D. 1, and recommends that it pass Second Reading and be referred to the Committee on Water, Land, & Ocean Resources.

 

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Hawaiian Affairs,
