RE: H.B. No. 1667
Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say
Speaker, House of Representatives

State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committee on Hawaiian Affairs, to which was referred H.B. No. 1667 entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO CEDED LANDS,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose of this bill is to preserve the corpus of the public land trust to allow a fair and just resolution between the State and native Hawaiians concerning native Hawaiian claims to the ceded lands, by prohibiting the Board of Land and Natural Resources from selling, exchanging, or otherwise alienating ceded lands.
The Office of Hawaiian Affairs, Kamehameha Schools, Malama Kauai, Aha Kiole Advisory Committee, Japanese American Citizens League, Kupu‘aina Coalition, Sovereign Council of the Hawaiian Homelands Assembly, Life of the Land, Hawaiian Political Action Council of Hawaii, Association of Hawaiian Civic Clubs, Ko‘olau Foundation, Royal Order of Kamehameha I, ‘Ewa-Pu‘uloa Hawaiian Civic Club, Ka Lei Maile Alii Hawaiian Civic Club, Kako‘o O‘iwi, Ko‘olaupoko Hawaiian Civic Club, and numerous concerned individuals supported this bill. The Department of the Attorney General and Na Koa Ikaika o Ka Lahui Hawaii opposed this measure. Comments were submitted by the Department of Land and Natural Resources.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Hawaiian Affairs that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 1667 and recommends that it pass Second Reading and be referred to the Committees on Water, Land, & Ocean Resources and Judiciary.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Hawaiian Affairs,
