STAND. COM. REP. NO. 709

 

Honolulu, Hawaii

                  

 

RE:    S.B. No. 460

       S.D. 1

 

 

 

Honorable Donna Mercado Kim

President of the Senate

Twenty-Seventh State Legislature

Regular Session of 2013

State of Hawaii

 

Madam:

 

     Your Committee on Ways and Means, to which was referred S.B. No. 460 entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO THE CENTER FOR OKINAWAN STUDIES,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose and intent of this measure is to appropriate funds for the hiring of an Okinawan studies librarian for the University of Hawaii at Manoa.

 

     Your Committee finds that hiring an Okinawan studies librarian is necessary for the maintenance and development of the extensive collection of Okinawa-related literature and resources at the University of Hawaii at Manoa library.  This measure enables the University of Hawaii to hire one full-time librarian who will serve as a liaison for the Center for Okinawan Studies to collaborate with the national and international communities on issues relevant to Okinawan studies and the continued development of Okinawa-related materials at the University of Hawaii at Manoa.

 

     Your Committee has amended this measure by:

 

(1)  Amending the effective date to July 1, 2050, to promote further discussion on the matter; and

 

(2)  Making a technical nonsubstantive amendment for consistency and style.

 

 

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Ways and Means that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 460, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Third Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 460, S.D. 1.

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Ways and Means,
