Sir:
Your Committee on Water & Land, to which was referred H.B. No. 515 entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO REMNANTS,"
begs leave to report as follows:
(1) Clarifying the definition of the term "remnant" for purposes relating to the disposition of public lands; and
(2) Establishing additional restrictions on the disposition of remnants.
Your Committee has amended this measure by:
(1) Limiting the additional restrictions on the disposition of remnants only to a finding of the Board of Land and Natural Resources that the parcel contains natural or cultural resources necessary for the exercise of native Hawaiian practices protected by the State Constitution; and
(2) Making technical, nonsubstantive amendments for clarity, consistency, and style.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Water & Land that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 515, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 515, H.D. 1, and be referred to the Committee on Judiciary.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Water & Land,
