A BILL FOR AN ACT
relating to lands controlled by the state.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF HAWAII:
SECTION 1. The legislature has determined that Act 176, Session Laws of Hawaii 2009, which imposes legislative oversight on sales and gifts of most state-owned lands, should apply only to ceded lands and should not apply to lands controlled by the State that are not lands that were government or crown lands prior to August 15, 1895, or lands exchanged for such lands subsequent to that date.
Accordingly, this Act repeals those portions of Act 176 that changed the law regarding lands controlled by the State that are not ceded lands. The legislative oversight prescribed by Act 176 shall continue to be applicable to lands that are ceded lands.
SECTION 2. Section 171-64.7, Hawaii Revised Statutes, is amended by amending subsection (a) to read as follows:
"(a) This section applies to all lands or
interest therein owned or under the control of state departments and agencies
classed as government or crown lands previous to August 15, 1895, [or
acquired or reserved by the government upon or subsequent to that date by
purchase, exchange, escheat, or the exercise of the right of eminent domain, or
any other manner, including accreted lands not otherwise awarded, submerged
lands, and lands beneath tidal waters which are suitable for reclamation,
together with reclaimed lands which have been given the status of public lands
under this chapter, including:
(1) Land set aside pursuant to law for the
use of the United States;
(2) Land to which the United States
relinquished the absolute fee and ownership under section 91 of the Organic Act
prior to the admission of Hawaii as a state of the United States;
(3) Land to which the University of Hawaii
holds title;
(4) Land to which the Hawaii housing
finance and development corporation in its corporate capacity holds title;
(5) Land to which the department of agriculture
holds title by way of foreclosure, voluntary surrender, or otherwise, to
recover moneys loaned or to recover debts otherwise owed the department under
chapter 167;
(6) Land that is set aside by the governor
to the Aloha Tower development corporation; or land to which the Aloha Tower
development corporation holds title in its corporate capacity;
(7) Land that is set aside by the governor
to the agribusiness development corporation; or land to which the agribusiness
development corporation in its corporate capacity holds title; and
(8) Land to which the high technology
development corporation in its corporate capacity holds title.]
and lands exchanged subsequent to August 15, 1895, for lands classed as government or crown lands previous to August 15, 1895."
SECTION 3. Statutory material to be repealed is bracketed and stricken. New statutory material is underscored.
SECTION 4. This Act shall take effect upon its approval.
