Honorable Scott K. Saiki

Speaker, House of Representatives

Thirtieth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2019

State of Hawaii

 

Sir:

 

     Your Committee on Water, Land, & Hawaiian Affairs, to which was referred H.B. No. 453 entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO THE HAWAII PUBLIC HOUSING AUTHORITY,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose of this measure is to exempt lands set aside by the Governor to the Hawaii Public Housing Authority and lands to which the Hawaii Public Housing Authority holds title from classification as public lands and, therefore, from the management and regulatory jurisdiction of the Department of Land and Natural Resources.

 

     The Hawaii Public Housing Authority submitted testimony in support of this measure.

 

     Your Committee has amended this measure by changing its effective date to July 1, 2050 to encourage further discussion on the measure.

 

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Water, Land, & Hawaiian Affairs that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 453, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 453, H.D. 1, and be referred to your Committee on Judiciary.

 

 

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