RE: H.B. No. 1268
H.D. 1
Honorable Joseph M. Souki
Speaker, House of Representatives
Twenty-Seventh State Legislature
Regular Session of 2013
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committee on Judiciary, to which was referred H.B. No. 1268 entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO PUBLIC LANDS,"
begs leave to report as follows:
Your Committee finds that this measure may not fully address the complex issues that can arise among family members regarding 999-year homestead leases. As this measure moves forward in the legislative process, your Committee respectfully recommends that a more thorough and comprehensive solution be examined. Your Committee also respectfully requests that consideration be given to limiting eligible trustees to third-party individuals and prohibiting lessees from being designated as trustees.
Your Committee has amended this measure by:
(1) Changing its effective date to January 1, 2100, to encourage further discussion; and
(2) Making technical, nonsubstantive amendments for clarity and consistency.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Judiciary that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 1268, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Third Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 1268, H.D. 1.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Judiciary,
