Your Committee on Finance, to which was referred H.B. No. 2986, H.D. 1, entitled:

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this bill is to promote the development of affordable housing by appropriating funds for the Hawaii Housing Finance and Development Administration to conduct a study to determine the feasibility of using state land at Puunene Airport on Maui for affordable housing.
