A BILL FOR AN ACT
RELATING TO MAUNA KEA.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF HAWAII:
SECTION 1. Chapter 304A, Hawaii Revised Statutes, is amended by adding a new section to subpart O of part IV to be appropriately designated and to read as follows:
"§304A- Report to the legislature. The board of regents shall submit an annual report to the legislature on:
(1) The fair market value-based rents it calculated under section 304A-1902(b); and
(2) The amounts transferred to the office of Hawaiian affairs for the use of Mauna Kea lands pursuant to Act 178, Session Laws of Hawaii 2006 and section 304A-1902, which shall be reported as both a percentage of actual rents and fees collected and a percentage of the fair market value-based rent calculated under section 304A-1902(b)."
SECTION 2. Section 304A-1902, Hawaii Revised Statutes, is amended to read as follows:
"[[]§304A-1902[]]
Mauna Kea lands; fees; lease agreements. (a) The board of regents
may charge [a fee] rents and fees for use of the Mauna Kea lands,
and for the use of facilities and programs related to the Mauna Kea lands. The
rents and fees charged shall be deposited into the Mauna Kea lands management
special fund established under section 304A-2170.
(b) The board of regents may enter into lease
agreements for the Mauna Kea lands; provided that the University of Hawaii
shall comply with all statutory requirements in the disposition of ceded lands[.];
provided further that for purposes of satisfying the requirements of Act 178,
Session Laws of Hawaii 2006, and the executive order issued by the governor to
implement its provisions, instead of calculating and transferring to the office
of Hawaiian affairs a portion of the actual receipts collected from the lease
of Mauna Kea lands, the board of regents shall calculate and transfer to the
office of Hawaiian affairs, a portion of the amount that the rent would have
been for each parcel of Mauna Kea land leased, if the rent charged for that
parcel had been based upon the fair market value of the use of the parcel.
(c) In establishing the fees, the board of
regents shall be exempt from the public notice, public hearing, and
gubernatorial approval requirements of chapter 91; provided that the fees shall
be established at an open public meeting pursuant to chapter 92. [The fees
shall be deposited into the Mauna Kea lands management special fund established
under section 304A-2170.]"
SECTION 3. Statutory material to be repealed is bracketed and stricken. New statutory material is underscored.
SECTION 4. This Act shall take effect on July 1, 2525.
Report Title:
UH; Mauna Kea Lands; Lease Revenues; Mauna Kea Lands Management Special Fund
