H.D. 1

 

 

 

Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-Third State Legislature

Regular Session of 2006

State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committee on Tourism & Culture, to which was referred H.B. No. 3235 entitled:

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO THE STATE OF HAWAII ENDOWMENT FUND,"

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this bill is to provide funding to support the production of music by an Oahu-based symphony orchestra by appropriating $10,000,000 to be deposited into the State of Hawaii Endowment Fund (Fund), provided that the appropriation is matched dollar-for-dollar by private funds.

The Oahu County Committee of the Democratic Party, Musicians' Association of Hawaii, Honolulu Symphony, and a concerned individual supported this bill. The State Foundation on Culture and the Arts supported the intent of this measure.

Your Committee has amended this bill by:

(1) Changing the appropriation to an unspecified amount to promote further discussion; and

(2) Making technical, nonsubstantive amendments for style, clarity, and consistency.

 

 

As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Tourism & Culture that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 3235, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 3235, H.D. 1, and be referred to the Committee on Finance.

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Tourism & Culture,
