A BILL FOR AN ACT
RELATING
TO INTERIM ADMINISTRATIVE RULES OF THE DEPARTMENT OF HAWAIIAN HOME LANDS.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF HAWAII:
SECTION
1. The legislature finds that the Hawaiian
Homes Commission Act requires the department of Hawaiian home lands to conduct "beneficiary
consultation" prior to the disposition of certain available lands. "Beneficiary consultation", under
the Hawaiian Homes Commission Act, 1920, as amended, means the direct outreach
to lessees, applicants, and native Hawaiians as part of the department of
Hawaiian home lands or Hawaiian homes commission's decision-making process.
The
legislature further finds that additional administrative rules are required for
the efficient awarding of leases and other disposition of lands. However, following the rulemaking process set
forth in chapter 91, Hawaii Revised Statutes, would create unnecessary delay
and ultimately harm beneficiaries.
The
purpose of this Act is to authorize the department of Hawaiian home lands to
issue interim rules in a manner that complies with the requirement of the Hawaiian
Homes Commission Act to conduct beneficiary consultation.
SECTION
2. (a) Notwithstanding any other law to the contrary
in chapter 91, Hawaii Revised Statutes, the department of Hawaiian home lands
may issue interim rules after beneficiary consultation is conducted.
(b) The rules shall become effective upon the
approval of the Hawaiian homes commission.
(c)
The interim rules shall be exempt from section
91-3, Hawaii Revised Statutes, and all other requirements for public notice,
public hearing, and approval of the governor in chapter 91, Hawaii Revised
Statutes.
(d)
The interim rules shall be effective for
eighteen months from the date the interim rules take effect or when the department
of Hawaiian home lands adopts rules pursuant to chapter 91, Hawaii Revised
Statutes, whichever comes first.
(e) The authority to issue interim rules pursuant
to this Act shall terminate on
.
For
the purposes of this section, "beneficiary consultation" means the
department of Hawaiian home lands' direct outreach to lessees, applicants, and
native Hawaiians as defined by the Hawaiian Homes Commission Act, 1920, as
amended, as part of the department of Hawaiian home lands or Hawaiian homes
commission's decision-making process.
SECTION 3. This Act shall take effect upon its approval.
