Sir:

Your Committee on Judiciary, to which was referred H.B. No. 2857 entitled:

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO HISTORIC PRESERVATION,"

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this bill is to facilitate the protection of historic properties, aviation artifacts, and burial sites by making it a civil and administrative violation to knowingly violate the conditions of an approved mitigation plan that includes monitoring and preservation plans.

The Department of Land and Natural Resources and the Office of Hawaiian Affairs testified in support of this bill.

Your Committee has amended this bill by:

(1) Defining "mitigation plan";

(2) Adding a savings clause; and

(3) 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. 2857, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Third Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 2857, H.D. 1.

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