RE:    H.B. No. 1221

       H.D. 1

       S.D. 1

 

 

 

Honorable Colleen Hanabusa

President of the Senate

Twenty-Fifth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2009

State of Hawaii

 

Madam:

 

     Your Committee on Education and Housing, to which was referred H.B. No. 1221, H.D. 1, entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO AFFORDABLE HOUSING PROJECTS,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose of this measure is to authorize general obligation bond funds for affordable housing projects and allow the funds to be used to match federal funds that may be appropriated under any federal fiscal stimulus legislation.

 

     Testimony in support of this measure was submitted by two state agencies and one private organization.  Written testimony presented to the Committee may be reviewed on the Legislature's website.

 

     Your Committee finds that this measure would provide additional support for the development, reconstruction, renovation, or rehabilitation of affordable housing projects and related infrastructure.  Your Committee is supportive of these efforts to address Hawaii's affordable housing shortage.

 

     Your Committee has amended this measure by extending the lapse date for the appropriation by one year, to June 30, 2012.

 

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Education and Housing that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 1221, H.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 1221, H.D. 1, S.D. 1, and be referred to the Committee on Ways and Means.

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Education and Housing,
