                , 2021

 

RE:   S.C.R. No. 190

      S.D. 1

      H.D. 2

 

 

 

 

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 S.C.R. No. 190, S.D. 1, H.D. 1, entitled:

 

"SENATE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION CONVENING A WORKING GROUP TO UPDATE PLANS FOR THE MAUNALUA-MAKAPUU SCENIC BYWAY AND CONSOLIDATE MANAGEMENT ALONG THE KAIWI COAST SCENIC SHORELINE,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose of this measure is to convene a Maunalua-Makapuu Scenic Byway and Kaiwi Coast Working Group to develop a plan to address ongoing issues in the Maunalua—Makapuu Scenic Byway and Kaiwi coastal area and consolidate management to better protect and preserve this critical resource for future generations.

 

     Your Committee received testimony in support of this measure from the Department of Land and Natural Resources and the Department of Transportation.

 

     Your Committee finds that the Kaiwi coast scenic shoreline is a beautiful stretch of undeveloped land in east Oahu that is host to the Maunalua-Makapuu Scenic Byway. There is concern that without proper management, this part of the island will face increasing challenges. Your Committee finds that it is in the best interests of the people of Hawaii to engage the community to protect this natural, unspoiled area and preserve its rugged beauty.

 

     Your Committee amended this measure by:

 

     (1)  Expanding the area of the working group;

 

(2)  Inserting language to have a certified copy of this resolution transmitted to the Chairperson of the Waimanalo No. 32 Neighborhood Board; and

 

(3)  Technical, nonsubstantive amendments for the purposes of clarity, consistency, and style.

 

     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 concurs with the intent and purpose of S.C.R. No. 190, S.D. 1, H.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends its adoption in the form attached hereto as S.C.R. No. 190, S.D. 1, H.D. 2.

 

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