Sir:

 

     Your Committee on Water & Land, to which was referred S.B. No. 2163, S.D. 2, entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO SERVICE OF PROCESS,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose of this measure is to allow the Director of Health to give notice of water pollution and solid waste pollution violations via a posting on a searchable government website or a sign conspicuously posted on the property when attempts to serve written notice in person and by mail have been unsuccessful.

 

     The Department of Health, Office of Hawaiian Affairs, Conservation Council for Hawaii, and a few individuals provided testimony in support.

 

     Your Committee has amended this measure by changing its effective date to July 1, 2050, to encourage further discussion.

 

     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 S.B. No. 2163, S.D. 2, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 2163, S.D. 2, H.D. 1, and be referred to your Committee on Judiciary.

 

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Water & Land,
