A BILL FOR AN ACT
relating to the hawaii community development authority.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF HAWAII:
SECTION 1. Section 206E-3, Hawaii Revised Statutes, is amended by amending subsection (b) to read as follows:
"(b)
The authority shall consist of [thirteen] nine voting members.
The director of finance, the director of business, economic development, and
tourism, the comptroller, and the director of transportation, or their
respective designated representatives shall serve as ex officio, [voting]
nonvoting members. [One member] Two members shall be
appointed by the governor from a list of not less than three prospective
appointees submitted by the president of the senate, and [one member] two
members shall be appointed by the governor from a list of not less than
three prospective appointees submitted by the speaker of the house of
representatives. [Seven] Five members shall be appointed by the
governor for staggered terms pursuant to section 26-34; provided that [four]
two members shall be appointed at large and, initially, three members,
hereinafter referred to as county members, shall be selected from a list of [ten]
five prospective appointees recommended by the local governing body of
the county in which the initial designated district is situated; and provided
further that when vacancies occur in any of the three positions for which the
members were selected from a list of county recommendations, the governor shall
fill [such] the vacancies on the basis of one from a list of [four]
two recommendations, two from a list of [seven] three recommendations,
or three from a list of [ten] five recommendations. The list of recommendations
shall be made by the local governing body of the county. Of the nine members appointed either by the
governor from the lists provided by the president of the senate and speaker of
the house, at-large by the governor, or as county members recommended by the
local governing body of the county in which the initial designated district is
situated, at least two members shall represent small businesses and shall be
designated as the small business representatives on the board whose purpose,
among other things, is to vote on matters before the board that affect small
businesses. The small business representatives shall be owners or active
managers of a small business with its principal place of operation located
within the physical boundaries of the initial designated district.
Notwithstanding section 84-14(a), the small business representatives shall not
be prohibited from voting on any matter concerning any district under the
board's jurisdiction; provided that the matter is not limited to solely
benefiting the specific interest of that member and the matter concerns broader
interests within the district. If
an additional district is designated by the legislature, the total membership
of the authority shall be increased as prescribed above by the appointment of three
additional members, except as provided for in section 206E-191.
Notwithstanding section 92‑15, a majority of all members shall constitute
a quorum to do business, and the concurrence of a majority of all voting
members shall be necessary to make any action of the authority valid; except
that, on any matter relating solely to a specific community development
district, the members representing districts other than that specific community
development district shall neither vote, nor shall they be counted to
constitute a quorum, and concurrence shall be required of a majority of that
portion of the authority made up of all [ex officio voting members,]
members at large[,] and county and district members representing the
district for which action is being proposed for [such] the action
to be valid. All members shall continue in office until their respective
successors have been appointed and qualified. Except as herein provided, no
member appointed under this subsection shall be an officer or employee of the
State or its political subdivisions.
For [[]purposes[]]
of this section, "small business" means a business which is independently owned and which is not dominant in its field of
operation."
SECTION 2. Statutory material to be repealed is bracketed and stricken. New statutory material is underscored.
SECTION 3. This Act shall take effect on July 1, 2010.
