HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES	H.B. NO.	583
TWENTY-SEVENTH LEGISLATURE, 2013
STATE OF HAWAII

A BILL FOR AN ACT

relating to government.

BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF HAWAII:

SECTION 1. The legislature finds that Act 54, Session Laws of Hawaii 2011, establishes a comprehensive information system for public lands to be used for the inventory and maintenance of information relating to the public land trust, also known as ceded lands, and other state lands. All state and county agencies are directed to assist the department of land and natural resources in facilitating the establishment of the comprehensive information system for public lands.

The legislature further finds that the land inventory required to be taken and information to be maintained are important tools to assist the State to manage its public lands.

The legislature further finds that insufficient information on underutilized public facilities exacerbates lost revenues for the State, so it is important that all state and county agencies work together to ensure that state facilities are used to their fullest potential.

The purpose of this Act is to require the department of land and natural resources to expand the scope of the comprehensive information system established pursuant to Act 54, Session Laws of Hawaii 2011, to inventory and maintain information about the lands of the public land trust described in section 5(f) of the Admission Act and article XII, section 4, of the Hawaii State Constitution to include public facilities, thereby creating a comprehensive asset management system for public lands and facilities.

SECTION 2. Act 54, Session Laws of Hawaii 2011, is amended by adding a new section to read as follows:

"SECTION 2A. (a) The department shall initiate and coordinate all efforts to establish a complete and accurate inventory of public facilities on the lands of the public land trust to which state agencies hold title or over which they maintain management control.

(b) The department shall incorporate the inventory of public facilities together with the public land trust inventory and the public land trust information system to create an integrated, comprehensive system for asset management of public lands and facilities.

(c) All state and county agencies shall assist the department in gathering the information required by this section, and shall comply with any and all requests for information or services by the department in furtherance of this section.

(d) All state agencies shall report to the department by January 1, 2014, an inventory of buildings and facilities owned or operated by the reporting agency. All state agencies shall thereafter submit to the department an updated annual inventory of buildings and facilities owned or operated by the reporting agency."

SECTION 3. New statutory material is underscored.

SECTION 4. This Act shall take effect upon its approval.
