Honolulu, Hawaii

, 2024

RE: S.B. No. 2387

Honorable Scott K. Saiki

Speaker, House of Representatives

Thirty-Second State Legislature

Regular Session of 2024

State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committee on Judiciary & Hawaiian Affairs, to which was referred S.B. No. 2387 entitled:

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO OWNERS OF LAND,"

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this measure is to correct erroneous references in chapters 520 and 520A, Hawaii Revised Statutes, regarding a landowner's liability.

Your Committee did not receive any written testimony on this measure.

Your Committee finds that this housekeeping measure is necessary to correct erroneous statutory references in chapters 520 and 520A, Hawaii Revised Statutes. Your Committee further finds that these corrections must be executed by the Legislature, rather than through the Legislative Reference Bureau, as there are questions of legislative intent.

As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Judiciary & Hawaiian Affairs that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 2387 and recommends that it pass Second Reading and be placed on the calendar for Third Reading.

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Judiciary & Hawaiian Affairs,

____________________________
