Z,, From: Sabrina Winder Sent: Tuesday, June 3, 2025 5:10 AM To: Council Testimony Subject: Concerns about Bill 47 Aloha Hawaii county, I am very concerned that the issues that have repeatedly been raised concerning Bill 47, and seem to have been ignored so far by the council. I don't understand why this is being rushed through so quickly. I respectfully ask that you please slow down and take the time to address the concerns about this bill. I also ask that you please pause the progression of the bill until the results of the economic impact study have been released. While I trust that your intentions of Bill 47 are not nefarious, the way that this bill is currently written provides no protection to property owners of hefty penalties in the future, that could essentially put many people out of business. There need to be more safeguards written into the bill if it truly will only be used for registration purposes only. Additionally, the hefty registration fee being proposed would be burdensome for numerous homeowners who are already struggling to make ends meet with the current decrease in tourism. Mahalo for your time and attention to this matter. Sabrina Winder COnnran. i?n. _ 0 Ref. TO: � kes. Dale 'JUN — 4 2025
