Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-Second State Legislature

Regular Session of 2004

State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committee on Water, Land Use, and Hawaiian Affairs, to which was referred H.B. No. 2817 entitled:

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO THE GREAT SEAL OF THE STATE,"

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this bill is to correct an error in the description of the Great Seal of the State in section 5-5, Hawaii Revised Statutes, by clarifying that:

(1) Kamehameha I is standing on the left side; and

(2) The goddess of liberty is on the right side.

The Office of Hawaiian Affairs testified in support of this bill.

As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Water, Land Use, and Hawaiian Affairs that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 2817 and recommends that it pass Second Reading and be referred to the Committee on Judiciary.

 

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Water, Land Use, and Hawaiian Affairs,
