H.D. 1

STATE OF HAWAII

 

 

 

 

 

 

A BILL FOR AN ACT

 

 

RELATING TO A STATE CAPITOL GIFT SHOP.

 

 

BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF HAWAII:

 


SECTION 1.  The Hawaii state capitol is a monument, a working office building, and the most recognized symbol of democracy in Hawaii.  The state capitol attracts thousands of visitors every year who often express interest in purchasing merchandise inspired by the capitol's art and Hawaii's unique history. 

The legislature finds that establishing and operating a gift shop in the state capitol would be financially beneficial.  Nearly every national park has a gift shop promoting various sites and the state capitol's distinct architectural features and monuments could be promoted in the same manner.  Establishing a gift shop would also provide local businesses with the opportunity of creating exciting custom designed products available nowhere else in the world.

The purpose of this Act is to provide funding for the establishment and operation of a gift shop in the state capitol to help visitors remember Hawaii through mementos of historical significance and to raise revenues for the State.

     SECTION 2.  There is appropriated out of the general revenues of the State of Hawaii the sum of $           or so much thereof as may be necessary for fiscal year 2014-2015 for the establishment and operation of a gift shop in the state capitol.

     The sum appropriated shall be expended by the department of accounting and general services for the purposes of this Act.

     SECTION 3.  This Act shall take effect on July 1, 2014.
