RE:   S.B. No. 987

      S.D. 1

 

 

 

 

Honorable Joseph M. Souki

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-Seventh State Legislature

Regular Session of 2013

State of Hawaii

 

Sir:

 

     Your Committee on Water & Land, to which was referred S.B. No. 987, S.D. 1, entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO IMPACT FEES,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose of this measure is to authorize the counties to assess and collect impact fees for the allocation of water prior to or upon the issuance of a water meter.

 

     The Board of Water Supply of the City and County of Honolulu, Department of Water of the County of Kauai, and a member of the Maui County Council submitted testimony in support of this measure.  The Land Use Research Foundation of Hawaii submitted testimony in opposition to this measure.   

 

     Your Committee notes that this measure codifies what is currently standard practice by the counties.  Your Committee further notes that the several county water authorities have confirmed that the language in this measure is both understandable and useful for the counties' practical purposes.

 

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Water & Land that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 987, S.D. 1, and recommends that it pass Second Reading and be referred to the Committee on Consumer Protection & Commerce.

 

 

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