Sir:

 

     Your Committees on Water, Land, & Ocean Resources and Energy & Environmental Protection, to which was referred H.B. No. 1813 entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO SPECIAL MANAGEMENT AREAS,"

 

beg leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose of this measure is to exempt capital improvement projects funded by state or county funds located on state or county land from special management area guidelines and requirements.

 

     The Department of Land and Natural Resources, Department of Transportation, Land Use Research Foundation of Hawaii, and General Contractors Association of Hawaii testified in support of this measure.  The Chamber of Commerce of Hawaii and Building Industry Association of Hawaii testified in support of the intent of this measure.  The Office of Planning, Office of Hawaiian Affairs, Hawaii Americans for Democratic Action, Life of the Land, The Outdoor Circle, Marine and Coastal Zone Advocacy Council, Hawaii Chapter of the Sierra Club, and ten individuals testified in opposition to this measure.

 

     Your Committees have amended this measure by extending the exemption of capital improvement projects funded by state or county funds located on state or county land to apply to structures to be located within a shoreline area.

 

     Technical, nonsubstantive amendments were made for clarity, consistency, and style.

 

     As affirmed by the records of votes of the members of your Committees on Water, Land, & Ocean Resources and Energy & Environmental Protection that are attached to this report, your Committees are in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B.
