Honorable Joseph M. Souki

Speaker, House of Representatives

Regular Session of 2013

State of Hawaii

 

Sir:

 

     Your Committee on Water & Land, to which was referred H.B. No. 476 entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO THE HAWAII COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose of this measure is to increase efficiency in the operations of the Hawaii Community Development Authority by limiting the prohibition on the sale or assignment of certain lands in the Kakaako Community Development District and requiring the Authority to conduct a cost-benefit analysis of the sale or purchase of certain lands in the Kakaako Community Development District.

 

     The Executive Director of the Hawaii Community Development Authority testified in support of the intent of this measure.  Two individuals testified in support.

 

     Your Committee has amended this measure by:

 

     (1)  Clarifying that any sale or assignment of lands by the Hawaii Community Development Authority, other than those currently exempted from the general prohibition, shall require a finding by the Authority of conformity with any applicable community development plan; and

 

     (2)  Changing its effective date to July 1, 2020, to encourage further discussion.

 

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Water & Land that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 476, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 476, H.D. 1, and be referred to the Committee on Finance.

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Water & Land,
