Sir:

 

     Your Committee on Water & Land, to which was referred H.B. No. 386 entitled:

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose of this measure is to appropriate funds for the two-year extension of the Post-Bypass Beach Monitoring Program of the Kikiaola Small Boat Harbor Sand Bypass Operation at Waimea, Kauai.

Your Committee has amended this measure by:

 

     (1)  Specifying that the funds shall be appropriated from an unspecified special fund rather than the general fund;

     (3)  Changing the effective date to July 1, 2050; and

 

     (4)  Making technical nonsubstantive amendments for clarity, consistency, and style.

 

     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 H.B. No. 386, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 386, H.D. 1, and be referred to your Committee on Finance.

 

 

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