RE: H.R. No. 146
H.D. 1
Honorable Scott K. Saiki
Speaker, House of Representatives
Twenty-Ninth State Legislature
Regular Session of 2018
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committee on Veterans, Military, & International Affairs, & Culture and the Arts, to which was referred H.R. No. 146 entitled:
"HOUSE RESOLUTION REQUESTING THE OFFICE OF VETERANS' SERVICES TO STUDY HOW THE INCREASE IN BURIAL SERVICE REQUESTS HAS AFFECTED THE HAWAII STATE VETERANS CEMETERY,"
begs leave to report as follows:
Your committee noted that the backlog is partially caused by an annual increase in burial service requests during the winter months of November through March.
Your committee has amended this measure by requesting 1-year, 5-year, and 10-year plans for cemetery operations, including staff, burial space, honor guard availability, and budget estimates.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Veterans, Military, & International Affairs, & Culture and the Arts that is attached to this report, your Committee concurs with the intent and purpose of H.R. No. 146, as amended herein, and recommends that it be referred to your Committee on Finance in the form attached hereto as H.R. No. 146, H.D. 1.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Veterans, Military, & International Affairs, & Culture and the Arts,
