Sir:

 

     Your Committee on Water, Land, & Ocean Resources, to which was referred H.B. No. 956 entitled:

 

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

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose of this bill is to authorize lease extensions of up to 65 years for demised hotel and resort premises where the Board of Land and Natural Resources approves a development agreement that meets certain criteria.

No. 956, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 956, H.D. 1, and be referred to the Committee on Tourism.

 

 

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