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 Water & Land, to which was referred H.B. No. 753 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.

 

     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 its beneficiaries.

 

     Your Committee has amended this measure by:

 

     (1)  Changing its effective date to January 1, 2050, to encourage further discussion; and

 

     (2)  Making a technical, nonsubstantive amendment for clarity, consistency, and style.

 

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Water & Land that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 753, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 753, H.D. 1, and be referred to your Committee on Judiciary & Hawaiian Affairs.

 

 

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