Speaker, House of Representatives
Twenty-Eighth State Legislature
Regular Session of 2015
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committee on Finance, to which was referred H.B. No. 1408, H.D. 2, entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO PRIVATE ROADS,"
begs leave to report as follows:
(1) Requiring the counties to accept the surrender of a private road in cases where there has been an absence of any act of private ownership over the road for five years; and
(2) Exempting the State and counties from liability arising from the use of the road until the State or county performs maintenance work on the road.
Your Committee has amended this measure by changing the effective date to July 1, 2030, to encourage further discussion. Technical, nonsubstantive amendments were also made for clarity, consistency, and style.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Finance that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 1408, H.D. 2, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Third Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 1408, H.D. 3.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Finance,
