RE: S.B. No. 2969

S.D. 1

 

 

Honorable Robert Bunda

President of the Senate

Twenty-Second State Legislature

Regular Session of 2004

State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committee on Water, Land, and Agriculture, to which was referred S.B. No. 2969 entitled:

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO RECORDATION,"

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this measure is to delete the statutorily defined recordation hours and authorize the registrar to set office hours for recordation within the Bureau of Conveyances.

Testimony in support of the measure was submitted by the Department of Land and Natural Resources and the Land Court.

Your Committee finds that the measure will provide the Bureau of Conveyances with flexibility to adjust its hours for recordation to better serve the public and maintain efficiency in its operations.

Your Committee made technical, nonsubstantive stylistic changes.

As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Water, Land, and Agriculture that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 2969, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 2969, S.D. 1, and be placed on the calendar for Third Reading.

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Water, Land, and Agriculture,
