RE: H.C.R. No. 119
H.D. 1
Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say
Speaker, House of Representatives
Twenty-Second State Legislature
Regular Session of 2003
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committees on Water, Land Use, and Hawaiian Affairs and Human Services and Housing, to which was referred H.C.R. No. 119 entitled:
"HOUSE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION REQUESTING THE DEPARTMENT OF HAWAIIAN HOME LANDS TO REVIEW THE SALE OF LEASES AND SUBMIT RECOMMENDATIONS TO THE LEGISLATURE FOR THE ADOPTION OF POLICIES THAT ARE FAIR TO AWARDEES, LEASE PURCHASERS, AND TO THE STATE,"
beg leave to report as follows:
The purpose of this concurrent resolution is to request the Department of Hawaiian Home Lands (DHHL) to investigate the appropriateness of the sale of awarded lots under certain conditions and to establish a policy regarding the sale of homes and lots by existing lessees that may include an appraisal at which price the lease could be offered to the next qualified beneficiary on the wait list.
The Office of Hawaiian Affairs testified in support of this measure. DHHL supported this measure with amendments.
Your Committees have amended this concurrent resolution by:
(1) Deleting reference to time periods and amounts pertaining to the sale of awarded leases for purposes of accuracy and balance in describing the situation; and
(2) Deleting various descriptions that may be perceived as inaccurate or exaggerated.
As affirmed by the records of votes of the members of your Committees on Water, Land Use, and Hawaiian Affairs and Human Services and Housing that are attached to this report, your Committees concur with the intent and purpose of H.C.R. No. 119, as amended herein, and recommend its adoption in the form attached hereto as H.C.R. No. 119, H.D. 1.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committees on Water, Land Use, and Hawaiian Affairs and Human Services and Housing,
