Sir:
Your Committee on Hawaiian Affairs, to which was referred H.B. No. 2530 entitled:

begs leave to report as follows:
Your Committee has amended this measure by:
(1) Requiring that 15 percent of geothermal royalties collected by the State from mining leases executed after July 1, 2012, and 30 percent of all revenues from the disposition of state lands to non-geothermal renewable energy producers made after July 1, 2012, be deposited into the Native Hawaiian Rehabilitation Fund;
(2) Increasing to 25 percent the county share of royalties received by the State from geothermal mining operations in the county under geothermal mining leases;
(3) Requiring that 15 percent of the royalties received by the State from geothermal resources produced under a State geothermal resource mining lease made after July 1, 2012, be transferred to the Department of Hawaiian Home Lands and deposited in the Native Hawaiian Rehabilitation Fund;
(4) Adding a provision that ensures that constitutionally-provided funding for the Office of Hawaiian Affairs would not be diminished by the measure; and
(5) Making technical, nonsubstantive amendments for clarity, consistency, and style.
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. 2530, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B.
