RE: H.C.R. No. 154
Honorable Scott K. Saiki
Speaker, House of Representatives
Thirty—Second State Legislature
Regular Session of 2024
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committee on Transportation, to which was referred
H.C.R. No. 154 entitled:
“HOUSE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION REQUESTING THE DEPARTMENT OF
TRANSPORTATION TO CONDUCT A FEASIBILITY STUDY ON IDENTIFYING
AND FACILITATING THE REPAIR AND TRANSFER OF PRIVATE OR
DISPUTED ROADS,”
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose of this measure is to request that the Department
of Transportation conducts a feasibility study regarding the
identification, repair, and transfer of private or disputed roads.
Your Committee received comments on this measure from the
Department of Transportation.
Your Committee finds that chapter 264, Hawaii Revised
Statutes, requires the Department of Transportation to establish
an inventory of the roads and highways that are under its
jurisdiction. Your Committee also finds that this chapter
requires the Department of Transportation to score and rank the
conditions of the roads under its jurisdiction so that repairs may
be scheduled. Your Committee further finds that section 264.1-
2.1, Hawaii Revised Statutes, provides the county with the power
to demand the transfer or surrender of disputed roads. Your
Committee finds that the Department of Transportation presently
lacks the resources needed to identify and develop a list of all

private and disputed roads that are not within its jurisdiction or
control and it is necessary to conduct a feasibility study
regarding the identification, repair, and transfer of private or
disputed roads prior to the Department assuming financial
responsibility for these roads.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your
Committee on Transportation that is attached to this report, your
Committee concurs with the intent and purpose of H.C.R. No. 154
and recommends that it be referred to your Committee on Judiciary
& Hawaiian Affairs
Respectfully submitted on
behalf of the members of the
