STAND. COM. REP. NO.82

RE: H.B. No. 728

 

 

Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-First State Legislature

Regular Session of 2001

State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committees on Transportation and Water and Land Use, to which was referred H.B. No. 728 entitled:

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO INCREASING DEVELOPMENT FLEXIBILITY OF PUBLIC LANDS,"

beg leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this bill is to give the Airports Division of the Department of Transportation (DOT) greater flexibility in developing its lands and facilities.

Current law allows public lands to be leased up to 35 years for airline, aircraft, and other operational classifications. By adding the classification of "airport related" operations and defining the term to mean a purpose or activity that requires air transportation to achieve that purpose or activity, this bill permits the Airport Division more flexibility in leasing land and facilities to non-aeronautical entities.

DOT submitted testimony in support of this measure.

As affirmed by the records of votes of the members of your Committees on Transportation and Water and Land Use that are attached to this report, your Committees are in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 728 and recommend that it pass Second Reading and be referred to the Committee on Finance.

 

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committees on Transportation and Water and Land Use,
