STAND. COM. REP. NO. 289

 

Honolulu, Hawaii

                  

 

RE:    S.B. No. 998

 

 

 

Honorable Donna Mercado Kim

President of the Senate

Twenty-Seventh State Legislature

Regular Session of 2013

State of Hawaii

 

Madam:

 

     Your Committee on Technology and the Arts, to which was referred S.B. No. 998 entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO WASHINGTON PLACE,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose and intent of this measure is to designate the Department of Accounting and General Services as the entity responsible for management and operations of Washington Place and to establish a trust fund for its operations.

 

     Your Committee received testimony in support of this measure from the Department of Accounting and General Services.

 

     Your Committee finds that effective July 1, 2012, the Legislature transferred the funding for the management and operations of Washington Place to the Department of Accounting and General Services under Act 106, Session Laws of Hawaii 2012, and this measure is necessary to codify the transfer of management and operations of Washington Place.

 

     Your Committee further finds that any revenue or rent received from the use of Washington Place is currently being deposited into the general fund.  The proposed trust fund is necessary to allow all revenue from rent, concessions, donations, and other monies to be deposited directly into a fund to help aid the Department of Accounting and General Services maintain and repair the historic site.

 

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Technology and the Arts that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 998 and recommends that it pass Second Reading and be referred to the Committee on Ways and Means.

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Technology and the Arts,
