Honorable Joseph M. Souki

Sir:

 

     Your Committee on Finance, to which was referred H.B. No. 193 entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO LAND USE,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose of this measure is to provide a reasonable means by which developers may satisfy any requirements, terms, or conditions imposed by the Land Use Commission as part of the approval of a district boundary amendment.  Specifically, this bill requires the Land Use Commission, upon request and if certain conditions are met, to extend the time period by which a petitioner shall comply with the requirements, terms, or conditions of a district boundary amendment.

 

     The Pacific Resource Partnership and General Contractors Association of Hawaii testified in support of this bill.  The Land Use Commission testified in opposition to this measure.  The Office of Planning of the State of Hawaii and Department of Planning and Permitting of the City and County of Honolulu provided comments.

 

     Your Committee has amended this bill by:

 

     (1)  Changing its effective date to July 1, 2030, to encourage further discussion; and

 

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

 

     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. 193, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Third Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 193, H.D. 1.

 

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