     The Public Land Development Corporation, Department of Education, Building Industry Association-Hawaii, The Chamber of Commerce of Hawaii, General Contractors Association of Hawaii, Hawaii Carpenters Union, and Laborers-Employers Cooperation and Education Trust supported this bill.  The Pacific Resource Partnership supported the intent of this measure.  The Department of Budget and Finance and Office of Hawaiian Affairs provided comments.

 

     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. No. 2534, S.D. 2, and recommends that it pass Second Reading and be referred to the Committee on Education.

 

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Water, Land, & Ocean Resources,
