Nishihara, Chair <br />Committee on Public Safety, Intergovernmental, and Military Affairs <br />Senator Kaiali`i Kahele, Chair <br />Committee on Water and Land <br />Dear Chair Nishihara, Chair Kahele, and Committee Members: <br />RE: SB 464 Relating to Private Property <br />Albizia is an attractive but extremely dangerous invasive species. It is hazardous for residents, <br />travelers, first responders, and anyone in the vicinity of its brittle limbs. <br />SB 464 is an attempt to allow landowners, adjacent to a property that has albizia, to take <br />action to deal with the danger, but within clearly defined limits. The language can surely be further <br />refined in this Committee and during the legislative process, but the concept is worthy of <br />endorsement—laws should be passed that are good for the community and that are limited so as to <br />assure minimal infringement of the rights of others. <br />I hope you will act favorably on SB 464. <br />Res9ectfully Submitted, <br />r <br />I v � <br />01111-1 <br />Harry Kim <br />MAYOR <br />County of Hawaii is an Equal Opportunity Provider and Employer. <br />
