STAND. COM. REP. NO. 225
Honolulu, Hawaii
RE: S.B. No. 1139
S.D. 1
Honorable Ronald D. Kouchi
President of the Senate
Thirtieth State Legislature
Regular Session of 2019
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committee on Water and Land, to which was referred S.B. No. 1139 entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO THE DEPARTMENT OF LAND AND NATURAL RESOURCES,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose and intent of this measure is to provide funds for flooding remediation by the Engineering Division of the Department of Land and Natural Resources on Tax Map Key (3) 2-3-023:008.
Your Committee received comments on this measure from the Department of Land and Natural Resources.
Your Committee finds that the parcel identified by this measure is privately owned. Therefore, this measure should identify an adjacent parcel, Tax Map Key (3) 2-3-023:006, which is also privately owned but has a state owned ditch running through it, which is in need of improvements for proper flooding remediation.
Accordingly, your Committee has amended this measure by:
(1) Changing the appropriation amount to $1,000,000 for flooding remediation and changing the subject parcel to Tax Map Key (3) 2-3-023:006;
(2) Inserting a lapse date of June 30, 2022, to allow adequate time for the project;
(3) Inserting an effective date of July 1, 2050, to encourage further discussion; and
(4) Making a technical, nonsubstantive amendment for the purposes of clarity and consistency.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Water and Land that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 1139, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 1139, S.D. 1, and be referred to your Committee on Ways and Means.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Water and Land,
