RE:   S.B. No. 1141

      S.D. 2

      H.D. 2

 

 

 

 

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 S.B. No. 1141, S.D. 2, H.D. 1, entitled:

 

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

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose of this bill as received is to require the Department of Land and Natural Resources (DLNR) to offer parcels of Sand Island for sale or exchange to leaseholders.

 

     For the purpose of a public hearing, your Committee circulated a proposed H.D. 2 containing provisions that enable the timely and efficient sale and gift of state-owned lands by limiting legislative oversight on these transactions to ceded lands only.

 

     DLNR, the Department of the Attorney General, Hawaii Housing Finance and Development Corporation, Department of Agriculture, and University of Hawaii System testified in support of this bill.  The Representative from the Fourth district and a concerned individual opposed this measure.

 

     Your Committee as amended this bill as received by your Committee by:

 

     (1)  Adopting the proposed H.D. 2; and

 

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

 

     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 S.B. No. 1141, S.D. 2, H.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Third Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 1141, S.D. 2, H.D. 2.

 

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