STAND. COM. REP. NO. 1427

 

Honolulu, Hawaii

                  

 

RE:    S.C.R. No. 20

 

 

 

Honorable Donna Mercado Kim

President of the Senate

Twenty-Seventh State Legislature

Regular Session of 2013

State of Hawaii

 

Madam:

 

     Your Committee on Ways and Means, to which was referred S.C.R. No. 20 entitled:

 

"SENATE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION SUBMITTING TO THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF HAWAII FOR REVIEW OF ACTION TAKEN BY THE BOARD OF LAND AND NATURAL RESOURCES ON A LAND EXCHANGE,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose and intent of this measure is to submit to the Legislature for review the proposed exchange involving state land located at Nuuanu, Honolulu, Oahu, and privately owned land located at Hoaeae, Ewa, Oahu, together with all improvements thereon.

 

     Your Committee received written comments in support of this measure from Hawaii Baptist Academy.  The Office of Hawaiian Affairs submitted written comments on the measure.

 

     At its meeting of October 24, 2008, under agenda item D-13, as amended at its meeting of August 10, 2012, under agenda item D-9, the Board of Land and Natural Resources approved in principle the proposed exchange involving state land located at Nuuanu, Honolulu, Oahu, identified as Tax Map Key (1) 2-2-22:19, and privately owned land located at Hoaeae, Ewa, Oahu, identified as Tax Map Key (1) 9-4-49:62, together with all improvements thereon.  Your Committee finds that this measure satisfies the requirements of section 171-50, Hawaii Revised Statutes, which provides that any exchange of public land for private land shall be subject to disapproval by the Legislature by two-thirds vote of either the Senate or the House of Representatives, or by majority vote of both chambers.

 

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Ways and Means that is attached to this report, your Committee concurs with the intent and purpose of S.C.R. No. 20 and recommends its adoption.

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Ways and Means,
