STAND. COM. REP. NO. 759

Honolulu, Hawaii

, 2005

RE: S.B. No. 1378

S.D. 2

 

 

Honorable Robert Bunda

President of the Senate

Twenty-Third State Legislature

Regular Session of 2005

State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committee on Ways and Means, to which was referred S.B. No. 1378, S.D. 1, entitled:

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO THE PEARL HARBOR HISTORIC TRAIL,"

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this measure is to statutorily designate the path from Halawa landing to Waipahu as the Pearl Harbor historic trail to meet the necessary requirements for federal funding opportunities to support the planning, construction, and completion of the trail.

Your Committee finds that the Pearl Harbor historic trail and the leeward bike path will merge into a multi-use path that will run approximately 18.6 miles from Halawa landing to Waipahu. The trail will serve the community by providing an outdoor recreation and transportation network and add to the economic vitality of these areas by serving as a springboard for historic preservation and education and by creating economic opportunities for community businesses.

Your Committee amended this measure by making technical, nonsubstantive amendments for clarity and style.

As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Ways and Means that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 1378, S.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Third Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 1378, S.D. 2.

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Ways and Means,
