RE:   H.B. No. 2833

      H.D. 1

 

 

 

 

Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-Fifth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2010

State of Hawaii

 

Sir:

 

     Your Committee on Finance, to which was referred H.B. No. 2833 entitled:

 

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

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose of this bill is to allow the Board of Natural Land and Resources to extend the lease of public lands for hotel or resort use to a developer who agrees to make substantial improvements to the premises.

 

     Hawaii Tourism Authority testified in support of this bill.  The Department of Land and Natural Resources opposed this measure.

 

     Your Committee has amended this bill by:

 

     (1)  Blanking out the number of years the lease may be extended;

 

     (2)  Changing the effective date to July 1, 2020, to encourage further discussion; and

 

     (3)  Making technical, nonsubstantive amendments for consistency, clarity, 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. 2833, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Third Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 2833, H.D. 1.

 

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