Sir:
Your Committee on Finance, to which was referred H.B. No. 139, H.D. 1, entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO TRANSPORTATION,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose of this bill is to improve the statewide transportation system and help alleviate traffic congestion through a fiscally prudent approach by allowing the State to enter into agreements with private entities to build, operate, own, or finance newly constructed transportation facilities, including toll roads.
The Representative of the 42nd District and a concerned individual supported this bill. The Hawaii Government Employees Association opposed this measure. The Department of Transportation, Hawaii Transportation Association, and a concerned individual provided comments.
Your Committee has amended this bill by:
(1) Changing its effective date to July 1, 2020, to encourage further discussion; and
(2) Making technical, nonsubstantive amendments for clarity, consistency, and style.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Finance that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 139, H.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Third Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 139, H.D. 2.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Finance,
