Sir:

Your Committee on Tourism & Culture, to which was referred S.B. No. 2813, S.D. 1, 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 support orchestral music in Hawaii by appropriating an unspecified amount of funds into the State of Hawaii Endowment Fund for the production of music by an Oahu-based symphony orchestra, provided that the funds are matched dollar-for-dollar by private funds.

The Musicians' Association of Hawaii, Oahu County Committee of the Democratic Party of Hawaii, and numerous concerned individuals supported this bill. The Hawaii State Foundation on Culture and the Arts supported the intent of this bill.

Your Committee has amended this measure by:

(1) Inserting an appropriation amount of $10,000,000; 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 S.B. No. 2813, S.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 2813, S.D. 1, H.D. 1, and be referred to the Committee on Finance.

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