STAND. COM. REP. NO.  519

 

Honolulu, Hawaii

                , 2021

 

RE:   H.B. No. 753

      H.D. 1

 

 

 

 

Honorable Scott K. Saiki

Speaker, House of Representatives

Thirty-First State Legislature

Regular Session of 2021

State of Hawaii

 

Sir:

 

     Your Committee on Judiciary & Hawaiian Affairs, to which was referred H.B. No. 753, H.D. 1, entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO SCHOOL IMPACT FEES,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose of this measure is to exclude housing developed by the Department of Hawaiian Home Lands from school impact fees.

 

     Your Committee received testimony in support of this measure from the Department of Hawaiian Home Lands.  Your Committee received comments on this measure from the Department of Education and Tax Foundation of Hawaii.

    

Your Committee finds that excluding housing developed by the Department of Hawaiian Home Lands from school impact fees could result in more homes being developed for the beneficiaries of the Department of Hawaiian Home Lands and help get beneficiaries off the wait list and into housing.

 

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Judiciary & Hawaiian Affairs that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 753, H.D. 1, and recommends that it be referred to your Committee on Finance.

 

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