S.D. 2
Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say
Speaker, House of Representatives
Twenty-Fifth State Legislature
Regular Session of 2009
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committee on Tourism, Culture, & International Affairs, to which was referred S.B. No. 1334, S.D. 2, entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO HAWAIIAN MUSIC AND DANCE,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose of this bill is to support local music and dance by establishing a Museum for Hawaiian Music and Dance (Museum) within the State Foundation on Culture and the Arts. This measure also appropriates funds to finance the design and the environmental assessment relating to the construction of the building and ancillary facilities for the Museum.
The Hawaii Tourism Authority, Office of Hawaiian Affairs, Museum of Hawaiian Music and Dance Committee, Hawaiian Music Hall of Fame, and many concerned individuals supported this bill. The Department of Accounting and General Services opposed this measure. The State Procurement Office offered comments.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Tourism, Culture, & International Affairs that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 1334, S.D. 2, and recommends that it pass Second Reading and be referred to the Committee on Hawaiian Affairs.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Tourism, Culture, & International Affairs,
