STAND. COM. REP. NO.  250-10

 

Honolulu, Hawaii

                , 2010

 

RE:   H.B. No. 2270

 

 

 

 

Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-Fifth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2010

State of Hawaii

 

Sir:

 

     Your Committee on Water, Land, & Ocean Resources, to which was referred H.B. No. 2270 entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO PUBLIC LANDS,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose of this bill is to offer the public a fair opportunity at the chance to obtain a recreation-residence use lease for a cabin in certain state parks or forest reserves by changing the selection process for such a lease from a public auction to a lottery.

 

     Several concerned individuals testified in support of this bill.  The Department of Land and Natural Resources provided comments.

 

     Your Committee notes that concerns were raised that changing the lease disposition from public auction, in which the highest bid prevails, to a lottery, will potentially result in lower lease rent revenue to the State, and respectfully requests the Committee on Finance to further examine this issue.

 

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Water, Land, & Ocean Resources that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 2270 and recommends that it pass Second Reading and be referred to the Committee on Finance.

 

 

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