Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-Third State Legislature

Regular Session of 2006

State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committee on Judiciary, to which was referred H.B. No. 2442, H.D. 1, entitled:

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO MILITARY INSTALLATIONS,"

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this bill is to prevent the closure of military installations due to encroachment of civilian urban growth by requiring notification to the commanding officer of a military installation of any application for county zoning changes and any petition for state land use district boundary amendments of land near a military installation.

The Department of Defense testified in support of this bill. The Chamber of Commerce of Hawaii supported the intent of this measure. The Land Use Research Foundation of Hawaii opposed this bill.

Your Committee has amended this bill by:

(1) Changing the effective date to July 1, 2096, to promote further discussion; and

(2) Making technical, nonsubstantive amendments for clarity and style.

 

As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Judiciary that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 2442, H.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it be referred to the Committee on Finance in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 2442, H.D. 2.

 

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