STAND. COM. REP. NO. 473

 

Honolulu, Hawaii

                  

 

RE:    S.B. No. 1172

 

 

 

Honorable Donna Mercado Kim

President of the Senate

Twenty-Seventh State Legislature

Regular Session of 2013

State of Hawaii

 

Madam:

 

     Your Committees on Water and Land and Tourism and Hawaiian Affairs, to which was referred S.B. No. 1172 entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO THE NATURAL AREA RESERVES SYSTEM COMMISSION,"

 

beg leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose and intent of this measure is to amend the composition of the Natural Area Reserves System Commission by adding a member possessing a background in native Hawaiian traditional and customary practices and removing the Superintendent of Education as a member.

 

     Your Committees received testimony in support of this measure from the Department of Land and Natural Resources and seven individuals.

 

     Your Committees find that having an individual with a background in native Hawaiian traditional and customary practices on the Natural Area Reserves System Commission will improve the effectiveness of the Commission in overseeing and advising on the management of cultural and archaeological resources within the natural area reserves.  According to the Department of Land and Natural Resources, it consulted with the Department of Education and received no reservation or opposition to removing the Superintendent of Education from the membership of the Commission.

 

     As affirmed by the records of votes of the members of your Committees on Water and Land and Tourism and Hawaiian Affairs that are attached to this report, your Committees are in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 1172 and recommend that it pass Second Reading and be placed on the calendar for Third Reading.

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committees on Water and Land and Tourism and Hawaiian Affairs,
