BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF HAWAII:

 


     SECTION 1.  Purpose.  There are five voting members representing the authority's Kalaeloa community development district.  Two of the five members are the (i) chairperson of the Hawaiian homes commission and (ii) director of the city and county of Honolulu department of planning and permitting.

     Quorum of the authority may be difficult to achieve if those Kalaeloa members are unable to appoint their designated representatives to attend and vote on their behalf in the event that they are unable to attend an authority meeting.

     The purpose of this bill is to amend section 206E-191(c), Hawaii Revised Statutes, to designate the chairperson of the Hawaiian homes commission, and the director of the city and county of Honolulu department of planning and permitting, or their respective designated representatives as ex-officio voting members.

     "(c)  Five additional voting members shall, except as otherwise provided in this subsection, be appointed to the authority by the governor to represent the Kalaeloa community development district.  These members shall be considered in determining quorum and majority only on issues relating to the Kalaeloa community development district, and may vote only on issues relating to the Kalaeloa community development district.  These members shall consist of:

     (1)  The chairperson of the Hawaiian homes commission[;] or the chairperson's designated representative who shall serve as an ex-officio, voting member;

     (2)  The director of the city and county of Honolulu department of planning and permitting[;] or the director's designated representative who shall serve as an ex-officio, voting member;

     (3)  Two members representing the surrounding community for a term pursuant to section 26-34, one of which shall be selected by the mayor of the city and county of Honolulu; and

     (4)  One member who is a Hawaiian cultural specialist."

     SECTION 3.  Statutory material to be repealed is bracketed and stricken.  New statutory material is underscored.

     SECTION 4.  This Act shall take effect upon its approval.
