The House Finance Committee on April 8 recommended advancing HDR14 HD1, which authorizes issuance of perpetual nonexclusive easements over portions of state submerged land at Waialae, Honolulu, for existing drainage and maintenance purposes.

Chair guided the committee through DLNR-proposed amendments developed with advice from the Attorney General. The chair said the measure will clarify that the total easement area is approximately 12,700 square feet, to be specified as three separate easements of about 2,983 sq ft; 2,190 sq ft; and 7,527 sq ft respectively, with final confirmation by the Department of Accounting and General Services survey division.

Members agreed to adopt DLNR’s AG-informed edits. The committee then voted to move the amended measure forward; the recommendation to adopt the amendments was recorded as approved.

Next steps: The amended measure will be reported out of committee for further legislative consideration. The committee transcript records the square‑foot figures as approximate and states survey confirmation will follow.
