RE: H.B. No. 952
Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say
Speaker, House of Representatives
Twenty-Sixth State Legislature
Regular Session of 2011
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committee on Education, to which was referred H.B. No. 952 entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO PUBLIC SCHOOL LANDS,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose of this bill is to provide additional flexibility and the potential for additional revenue with respect to public school land by establishing a Public School Lands Trust into which all lands under the management of the Department of Education (DOE) shall be placed. This bill also establishes a Public School Lands Trust Commission to manage, administer, and exercise control over the Public School Lands Trust.
The Board of Directors of the League of Women Voters of Hawaii and a concerned individual supported this bill. The Mayor of the City and County of Honolulu opposed this measure. The Department of Land and Natural Resources, DOE, and Office of Hawaiian Affairs provided comments.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Education that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 952 and recommends that it pass Second Reading and be referred to the Committee on Water, Land, & Ocean Resources.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Education,
