RE:   S.B. No. 2378

      S.D. 2

      H.D. 1

 

 

 

 

Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-Fifth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2010

State of Hawaii

 

Sir:

 

     Your Committee on Finance, to which was referred S.B. No. 2378, S.D. 2, entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO THE OFFICE OF HAWAIIAN AFFAIRS,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose of this bill is to require, beginning on January 1, 2014, members of the Office of Hawaiian Affairs (OHA) Board of Trustees (Board) to be nominated at a primary election and elected at the general election, rather than be elected at a special election held in conjunction with the general election.

 

     The Council for Native Hawaiian Advancement and numerous concerned individuals testified in support of this bill.  OHA provided comments.

 

     Your Committee has amended this bill by making technical, nonsubstantive amendments for clarity, consistency, and style.

 

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Finance that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 2378, S.D. 2, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Third Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 2378, S.D. 2, H.D. 1.

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Finance,
