Honorable Scott K. Saiki

Sirs:
Your Committee on Conference on the disagreeing vote of the Senate to the amendments proposed by the House of Representatives in S.B. No. 1254, S.D. 2, H.D. 2, entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO THE KAIWI COAST,"
having met, and after full and free discussion, has agreed to recommend and does recommend to the respective Houses the final passage of this bill in an amended form.
The purpose of this measure is to:
(1) Require the Department of Land and Natural Resources to petition the Board of Land and Natural Resources to designate certain lands as the "Kaiwi Coast State Park";
(2) Establish certain conditions for the Kaiwi Coast State Park; and
(3) Appropriate funds for the Kaiwi Coast State Park and Maunalua-Makapuu Scenic Byway improvements.
Your Committee on Conference finds that the lands of the Kaiwi coast are an invaluable resource for the people of the State and its natural beauty should be preserved in perpetuity for the public benefit. Therefore, this measure helps kickstart the process of conserving those lands in their natural state by requiring the Department of Land of Natural Resources to petition for their designation as a state park.
Accordingly, your
Committee on Conference has amended this measure by:
(1) Eliminating the appropriation for the establishment,
planning, and design of the Kaiwi Coast State Park and Maunalua-Makapuu Scenic Byway
improvements;
(2) Amending section 1 to reflect its amended
purpose;
(3) Making it effective upon its approval; and
(4) Making technical, nonsubstantive amendments
for the purposes of clarity and consistency.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the managers of your Committee on Conference that is attached to this report, your Committee on Conference is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 1254, S.D. 2, H.D. 2, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Final Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 1254, S.D. 2, H.D. 2, C.D. 1.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the managers:
