Madam:

 

     Your Committee on Ways and Means, to which was referred H.B. No. 1665, H.D. 1, S.D. 1, entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO HAWAIIAN FISHPONDS,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose of this measure is to prohibit the sale of public lands on which government-owned Hawaiian fishponds are located.

 

     Your Committee received six written comments on this measure.  The written comments may be reviewed on the Legislature's website.

 

     Your Committee finds that Hawaiian fishponds have important historical and cultural significance to the Native Hawaiian community and serves a valuable role in the conservation of marine resources and the mitigation of climate change in coming years.  Your Committee further finds that this measure will help to preserve and protect Hawaiian fishponds by prohibiting the sale of public lands on which government-owned Hawaiian fishponds are located.

 

     Your Committee has amended this measure by changing the effective date to January 1, 2090 to facilitate further discussion on the measure.

 

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Ways and Means that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 1665, H.D. 1, S.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Third Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 1665, H.D. 1, S.D. 2.
