RE:   H.C.R. No. 86

 

 

 

 

Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-Sixth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2012

State of Hawaii

 

Sir:

 

     Your Committee on Hawaiian Affairs, to which was referred H.C.R. No. 86 entitled:

 

"HOUSE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION URGING THE STATE OF HAWAII TO RECOGNIZE MOKAUEA ISLAND AS A CULTURAL AND EDUCATIONAL RESOURCE AND INCLUDE MOKAUEA ISLAND ON THE REGISTER OF HISTORIC PLACES,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose of this measure is to further the Legislature's goal of protecting Hawaii's distinctive cultural heritage and to implement the recommendations of a State Historic Preservation Officer's 1975 report noting Mokauea Island's historic importance by urging the United States National Register of Historic Places and the State Historic Preservation Division to recognize Mokauea Island as a cultural and educational resource and include Mokauea Island on the National Register of Historic Places and the Hawaii Register of Historic Places.

                         

     The Association of Hawaiian Civic Clubs supported the measure.  The Department of Land and Natural Resources and Historic Hawaii Foundation offered comments on the measure.

 

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Hawaiian Affairs that is attached to this report, your Committee concurs with the intent and purpose of H.C.R. No. 86 and recommends that it be referred to the Committee on Water, Land, & Ocean Resources.

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Hawaiian Affairs,
