RE:   S.B. No. 333

      S.D. 3

      H.D. 1

 

 

 

 

Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-Sixth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2011

State of Hawaii

 

Sir:

 

     Your Committee on Hawaiian Affairs, to which was referred S.B. No. 333, S.D. 3, entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO HISTORIC PRESERVATION,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose of this bill is to help preserve the unique cultural and historic heritage of Hawaii by expanding the uses of the Hawaii Historic Preservation Special Fund (Fund) by requiring that one percent of all capital improvement appropriations for the construction or renovation of state buildings be deposited into the Fund.

 

     This bill also allows moneys in the Fund to be used for site modifications, display, and interpretive work necessary to enhance the visitor experience for the Bernice Pauahi Bishop Museum, Iolani Palace, and Washington Place, including specific preventive maintenance and repairs to restore these facilities to a condition reflecting their status in Hawaii's history and the unique heritage of its arts and culture.

 

     The Department of Land and Natural Resources, Department of Accounting and General Services, Bishop Museum, and Friends of Iolani Palace supported this bill.  The Association of Hawaiian Civic Clubs, Aha Kiole Advisory Committee, and Hawaii Maoli supported the intent of this measure.  The Department of Transportation and a concerned individual opposed this bill.  The Department of the Attorney General and Department of Budget and Finance offered comments.

 

     After careful consideration, your Committee has amended this bill by:

 

     (1)  Adding Mauna Ala to the places for which Fund moneys can be used for site modifications, display, and interpretive work;

 

     (2)  Changing its effective date to July 1, 2011; and

 

     (3)  Making technical, nonsubstantive amendments for clarity, consistency, and style.

 

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Hawaiian Affairs that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 333, S.D. 3, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 333, S.D. 3, H.D. 1, and be referred to the Committee on Water, Land, & Ocean Resources.

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Hawaiian Affairs,
