Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-Fifth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2009

State of Hawaii

 

Sir:

 

     Your Committee on Economic Revitalization, Business, & Military Affairs, to which was referred S.B. No. 571 entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO A VETERANS' MEMORIAL,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose of this bill is to honor and remember the service and sacrifices of our veterans by directing the Department of Accounting and General Services (DAGS) and Department of Defense (DOD) to develop a plan to create a memorial to the veterans of the Persian Gulf War and Operation Desert Storm, to be located within the Capitol District.

 

     The Office of Veterans' Services (OVS) supported the intent of this bill.

 

     Your Committee has amended this bill by:

 

(1)  Removing the requirement that the site of the memorial be within the Capitol District;

 

(2)  Adding OVS to the agencies that are to jointly develop a plan for the memorial; and

 

(3)  Changing the date on which DAGS, DOD, and OVS are to submit a report of their findings and recommendations to the Legislature, from January 1, 2011, to January 1, 2012.

 

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Economic Revitalization, Business, & Military Affairs that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 571, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 571, H.D. 1, and be referred to the Committee on Finance.

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Economic Revitalization, Business, & Military Affairs,
