Sir:

 

     Your Committee on Hawaiian Affairs, to which was referred H.B. No. 1665 entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO HAWAIIAN FISHPONDS,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose of this bill is to protect access to Hawaiian cultural and subsistence activities and resources by prohibiting the Board of Land and Natural Resources from selling public land on which government-owned Hawaiian fishponds are located.

 

     The Kuli'ou'ou Kalani Iki Neighborhood Board #2, Livable Hawaii Kai Hui, Maunalua Fishpond Heritage Center, Hawaii Nearshore Fisherman and several concerned individuals supported this bill.  The Office of Hawaiian Affairs testified in support of this measure and offered amendments.  The Department of Land and Natural Resources commented on this bill.

 

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Hawaiian Affairs that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 1665 and recommends that it pass Second Reading and be referred to the Committee on Water, Land, & Ocean Resources.

 

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Hawaiian Affairs,
