     Your Committee on Water, Land, & Ocean Resources, to which was referred S.B. No. 1318, S.D. 1, entitled:

(1)  Repealing Chapter 205A, Hawaii Revised Statutes (HRS), the coastal zone management law;

 

(2)  Abolishing the Office of Planning by repealing Chapter 225M, HRS; and

 

(3)  Transferring all rights, powers, functions, and duties of OP to the Department of Business, Economic Development, and Tourism (DBEDT).

     Your Committee has amended this bill by removing its substance and replacing it with the substance of H.B. No. 593, H.D. 2, a bill that was reported out of your Committee earlier this session.  As amended, this bill:

 

(1)  Allows DLNR to establish a interim coastal construction moratorium along Kailua Beach where appropriate for the long-term protection of the beach; and

 

(2)  Takes effect on July 1, 2020.

 

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Water, Land, & Ocean Resources that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B.
