RE:   H.B. No. 1433

 

 

 

 

Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-Fourth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2007

State of Hawaii

 

Sir:

 

     Your Committee on Finance, to which was referred H.B. No. 1433 entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO MILITARY INSTALLATIONS,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose of this bill is to afford military authorities an opportunity to raise any concerns they may have about urban encroachment on military installations that could adversely affect the effectiveness and preparedness of the installation by requiring sufficient notice of:

 

     (1)  Proposed zoning changes on lands within 1000 yards or two miles (depending on the size of the population of the county) of any military installation; and

 

     (2)  Any petitions for land use district boundary amendments for any lands within 1000 yards or two miles (depending on the size of the population of the county) of any military installation.

 

     The Department of the Army, Department of Defense, and The Chamber Commerce of Hawaii supported this bill.  The Office of Hawaiian Affairs opposed this measure.

 

     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. 1433 and recommends that it pass Third Reading.

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Finance,
