STAND. COM. REP. NO. 942

 

Honolulu, Hawaii

                  

 

RE:    H.B. No. 1103

       H.D. 1

       S.D. 1

 

 

 

Honorable Donna Mercado Kim

President of the Senate

Twenty-Seventh State Legislature

Regular Session of 2013

State of Hawaii

 

Madam:

 

     Your Committee on Public Safety, Intergovernmental and Military Affairs, to which was referred H.B. No. 1103, H.D. 1, entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO IMPACT FEES,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose and intent of this measure is to require the assessment of impact fees prior to the issuance of a water meter and collection of impact fees in full prior to or upon the issuance of a water meter.

 

     Your Committee received testimony in support of this measure from the Department of Water, County of Kauai and Board of Water Supply, City and County of Honolulu.  Your Committee received testimony in opposition to this measure from the Land Use Research Foundation of Hawaii.

 

     Your Committee finds that the current timing of collection of impact fees for water meters in certain counties, such as Kauai, does not allow sufficient flexibility for planning or to account for changes that may be made up until the time the water meters are installed.

 

     Your Committee has amended this measure by:

 

     (1)  Deleting the purpose section and the savings clause;

 

     (2)  Inserting an effective date of July 1, 2050, to encourage further discussion; and

 

     (3)  Making technical, nonsubstantive amendments for the purposes of clarity and consistency.

 

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Public Safety, Intergovernmental and Military Affairs that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 1103, H.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 1103, H.D. 1, S.D. 1, and be referred to the Committee on Ways and Means.

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Public Safety, Intergovernmental and Military Affairs,
