Good morning. We're reconvening our conference committee on this, Wednesday, April 29 at 10:10 in Room 224. There are 3 items on this agenda. The first being Senate Bill 3218 SD 2 HD 2 relating to bonds. On behalf of the Senate, myself as Chair, Hashimoto Co-Chair, and Fevella as a Member.

And on behalf of the house, we have myself and Representative Miyake as Co-Chairs and Representative Muraoka as Manager.

It's been a pleasure working with you on the language. I have to make mention that for the CD 1, we have agreement on language, but we'll be making a few more amendments that we'll share with you when draft of the CD 1 is ready for prime time. Since we do not have our money committees released yet, I'd like to offer for us to come back and reconvene tomorrow, April 30 at 10:10 in this same room.

Sounds good. And I appreciate your folks continued work on this.

My pleasure.

The next measure is Senate Bill 3219 HD3 proposing amendments to Article seven, sections twelve and thirteen of the state constitution. On behalf of the Senate, myself as Chair, Rhoads, Hashimoto as Co-Chairs, Fevella as a Member.

And on behalf of the house, we have myself and Representatives Tarnas and Miyake as Co-Chairs and representative Muraoka as Manager.

Okay. Likewise on this, measure. We have all the language worked out and are waiting for our money committee's release. So if it's okay with you, I'd like to see you here tomorrow, Thursday, April 30 in Room 224 at 10:10 in

the morning. Sounds great. Thanks. Next item is HB1741 HD2SD1 living to housing. On behalf of the house.

We have myself and Representatives Hashem, Tarnas and Miyake as Co-Chairs and Representative Cochran as Manager.

Sorry on behalf of the Senate myself as Chair, Chang, Hashimoto as Co-Chairs.

So, so I think we have a tentative agreement on language. We're going through one last, CD1 drafting request, which will get you folks that draft as soon as we get it back. Hopefully, in the next few hours, at which time we can probably both put in maybe a revised finished land release request, because the language has changed a little bit. The changes in the draft that are ongoing was based partially on county feedback.

I think we're addressing all the concerns brought to us by by counties.

And then, WHAM, in a lot of ways, I think, made the bill better when it went through that committee and that they took out a lot of the the harsher language. And what the bill really is asking now is just for sort of disclosure on how a county got to their affordable housing requirements. And so I think what we're amending the preamble just to reflect that the bill has changed significantly, and and it's really just a disclosure and transparency study bill.

So if, if it's agreeable to you, if we can roll this over to tomorrow, 10:10 in the same room, and hopefully by then we'll have agreed upon CD1and, and waiting for release maybe.

We'll see you then.

Okay. Awesome. Thank you, folks. We'll see you. Sing no for the next.

Is it okay with you if I could just describe the Bill and the proposed Amendments before I take the vote? So the Bill is just clarifying the 99 year leasehold program under HCDA. 60% of units will have to be income restricted and owner occupied.

HCDA via rule can establish initial sales periods for the an initial sales period for the other units where they will require owner occupancy for a certain period, which will go away if the units remain unsold. This is to help ensure that the 99 year leasehold program is, successful and financially viable as a program. The proposed are agreed upon amendments will just delete language from, 2 separate sentences that says or any other person intending to live with the eligible buyer or owner.

Deleting that from the HD 2 and otherwise effective upon approval. I believe that's what we have agreement on.

Believe so. Alright. Let's vote on SB2061, Senate draft two HD 2. The recommendation is to pass for the CD for the Senate.

[Roll Call] May I take the vote for the house?

Great. On this one, I know the House had some concerns and was wanting to contemplate a private match language. However, in recent discussions, it appears that you'd be willing to, you know, perhaps reconcile that. And so I think the latest CD 1 contemplates that not being in the bill and just asking for the requisite 500,000 from the money.
