Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say

Speaker, House of Representatives

Sir:

 

     Your Committees on Hawaiian Affairs and Water, Land, & Ocean Resources, to which was referred H.B. No. 1969 entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO HISTORIC PRESERVATION,"

 

beg leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose of this bill is to require the State Land Surveyor to prepare and file with the Bureau of Conveyances a survey map of an approved burial preservation or mitigation plan.

 

     The Office of Hawaiian Affairs, Kanaka Council Moku O Keawe, and several concerned individuals supported this bill.  The Department of Land and Natural Resources (DLNR) opposed this measure.  The Society for Hawaiian Archaeology provided comments.

 

     Your Committees respectfully request to work with the Committee on Judiciary to discuss legal concerns, including possible financial burdens on the State Historic Preservation Division, raised during discussion with DLNR, during the public hearing.

 

     As affirmed by the records of votes of the members of your Committees on Hawaiian Affairs and Water, Land, & Ocean Resources that are attached to this report, your Committees are in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 1969 and recommend that it pass Second Reading and be referred to the Committee on Judiciary.

 

 

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committees on Hawaiian Affairs and Water, Land, & Ocean Resources,
