                                   RE:  S.B. No. 1011
                                        




Honorable Norman Mizuguchi
President of the Senate
Twentieth State Legislature
Regular Session of 1999
State of Hawaii

Sir:

     Your Committee on Ways and Means, to which was referred S.B.
No. 1011 entitled: 

     "A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO THE STATE FOUNDATION ON
     CULTURE AND THE ARTS,"

begs leave to report as follows:

     The purpose of this bill is to clarify the operation and
funding of the State Foundation on Culture and the Arts.

     Specifically, this measure defines the State Foundation on
Culture and the Arts Commission as the policy-making body as
distinguished from the executive director of the State Foundation
on Culture and the Arts.  

     Additionally, this bill requires each agency receiving
capital improvement appropriations to calculate and transfer one
per cent of those funds into the works of art special fund.  The
Comptroller is required to provide each agency with the
information needed for the calculations and to ensure that the
transfers are made correctly and in a timely manner.

     Your Committee finds that these clarifications within the
State Foundation on Culture and the Arts law will provide for
more effective administration of funds allocated for the needs
and purposes of their programs.
