Cox, Environmental CenterJacquelin Miller, Environmental CenterRL:020lHB 674 and HB 675 propose amendments to Section 183-41, Hawai i RevisedStatutes, wh ich deals with Forest and Water Conservation zones. This statementon the two bills is being submitted for review to the Legislature subcommitteeof the Environmental Center of the University of Hawaii, but does not reflectan institutional position of the University .HB 674The amendments proposed in HB 674 appear to be primarily housekeepingmeasures. Section 183-41 would be divided into subsections, and the provisionsregarding hearing not ices and hearings are changed i n posi tion and designa tedsubsection (d). The amendments seem appropriate.HB 675HB 675 would, however, change the present mandatory prOV1Slon regardingpublic hearings concerning proposed commercial uses within the ConservationDistrict to a simple authorization. The allowance of any commercial uses withinthe Conservation District presents a serious question that deserves thoroughconsideration at a public hearing . The amendment proposed in HB 675 thereforeseems unwise.AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER
