Honorable Joseph M. Souki

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-Seventh State Legislature

Regular Session of 2013

State of Hawaii

 

Sir:

 

     Your Committee on Transportation, to which was referred S.B. No. 1207 entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO TRANSPORTATION,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose of this measure is to facilitate the efficient implementation of Department of Transportation harbors projects by exempting all work involving submerged lands used for state commercial harbor purposes from the permit and site plan approval requirements established for lands in a conservation district.

 

     The Department of Transportation supported this measure.  The Office of Hawaiian Affairs and several concerned individuals opposed this measure.  The Chamber of Commerce of Hawaii and Building Industry Association of Hawaii provided comments.

 

     Your Committee has amended this measure by changing its effective date to July 1, 2050, to promote further discussion.

 

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Transportation that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 1207, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 1207, H.D. 1, and be referred to the Committee on Water & Land.

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Transportation,
