STAND. COM. REP. NO. 2281
Honolulu, Hawaii
RE: S.B. No. 2381
Honorable Shan S. Tsutsui
President of the Senate
Twenty-Sixth State Legislature
Regular Session of 2012
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committees on Economic Development and Technology and Water, Land, and Housing and Public Safety, Government Operations, and Military Affairs, to which was referred S.B. No. 2381 entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO DEPARTMENT OF LAND AND NATURAL RESOURCES MARITIME FACILITIES,"
beg leave to report as follows:
The purpose and intent of this measure is to authorize the Board of Land and Natural Resources to plan, construct, operate, and maintain any lands or facilities under the jurisdiction of the Division of Boating and Ocean Recreation, including the acquisition and use of lands necessary to stockpile dredged spoils, without the approval of county agencies.
Your Committees received testimony in support of this measure from the Department of Land and Natural Resources. Your Committees received testimony in opposition to this measure from a member of the Maui County Council. Your Committees received comments on this measure from the Environmental Center at the University of Hawaii at Manoa.
Your Committees find that Act 161, Session Laws of Hawaii 1980, granted the Department of Transportation the authority to plan, construct, operate, and maintain harbors throughout the State without the approval of county agencies. Act 272, Session Laws of Hawaii 1991, transferred the jurisdiction, functions, powers, duties, and authority of the boating and ocean recreation program from the Department of Transportation to the Department of Land and Natural Resources, but did not explicitly grant the exemption from county approvals.
Your Committees further find that this measure would expedite implementation of much needed improvement projects at the State's boating facilities, for the benefit of residents and visitors alike.
As affirmed by the records of votes of the members of your Committees on Economic Development and Technology and Water, Land, and Housing and Public Safety, Government Operations, and Military Affairs that are attached to this report, your Committees are in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 2381 and recommend that it pass Second Reading and be referred to the Committee on Judiciary and Labor.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committees on Economic Development and Technology and Water, Land, and Housing and Public Safety, Government Operations, and Military Affairs,
