RE:   H.B. No. 1796

      H.D. 1

 

 

 

 

Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-Sixth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2012

State of Hawaii

 

Sir:

 

     Your Committee on Housing, to which was referred H.B. No. 1796 entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO PUBLIC HOUSING,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose of this measure is to require the Hawaii Public Housing Authority to adopt rules to implement a five-year time limit for any tenant's use and occupation of any dwelling unit or other premises located within a state public housing project.

 

     Hawaii Public Housing Authority and the County of Hawaii Office of Housing and Community Development testified in opposition to this measure.

 

     Your Committee has amended this measure by:

 

(1)  Exempting elderly or disabled tenants from the five-year time limit;

 

(2)  Defining "elderly" as a person who is sixty-five years of age or older; and

 

(3)  Making technical, nonsubstantive amendments for the purposes of clarity and consistency.

 

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Housing that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 1796, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 1796, H.D. 1, and be referred to the Committee on Judiciary.

 

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