Honorable Ronald D. Kouchi

President of the Senate

Twenty-Ninth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2017

State of Hawaii

 

Sir:

 

     Your Committee on International Affairs and the Arts, to which was referred S.B. No. 1074 entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO THE FIFTIETH ANNIVERSARY OF THE HAWAII STATE CAPITOL,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose and intent of this measure is to appropriate funds to the State Foundation on Culture and the Arts to provide support for the task force established to plan and coordinate the celebration of the fiftieth anniversary of the Hawaii State Capitol.

 

     Your Committee received testimony in support of this measure from the State Foundation on Culture and the Arts, Center for Hawaiian Sovereignty Studies, and one individual.

 

     Your Committee finds that the task force to plan and coordinate the celebration of the fiftieth anniversary of the Hawaii State Capitol was established in 2016 for purposes of planning activities and events for the celebration.  The current Hawaii State Capitol located at 415 South Beretania Street was dedicated on March 15, 1969.  The festivities will take place from March 15, 2018, through March 15, 2019.  Your Committee further finds that the funds appropriated will help the task force to coordinate and oversee the celebration.

 

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on International Affairs and the Arts that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 1074 and recommends that it pass Second Reading and be referred to your Committee on Ways and Means.

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on International Affairs and the Arts,
