                   A  BILL  FOR  AN  ACT


RELATING TO HAWAIIAN CULTURAL AND EDUCATIONAL FACILITY.


BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF HAWAII:

 1      SECTION 1.  The legislature finds that the Hawaiian culture
 
 2 must be preserved, protected, and shared with future generations.
 
 3 The legislature also finds that Hawaii's economy has been in a
 
 4 state of stagnation for nine consecutive years. The impact of
 
 5 this economic stagnation has an acute effect on Hawaii's rural
 
 6 community, particularly in the Waimanalo community.  The high
 
 7 rate of unemployment in Waimanalo and the need for job training
 
 8 and placement of its residents strongly illustrates the demand
 
 9 for employment opportunities in the state of Hawaii.
 
10      Hawaii Ola Waimanalo, a non-profit organization, was created
 
11 to develop a Hawaiian cultural and educational facility in the
 
12 Waimanalo area.  The plan has received strong community support
 
13 from numerous organizations within Waimanalo.
 
14      SECTION 2.  There is appropriated out of the general
 
15 revenues of the State of Hawaii the sum of $1,500,000, or so much
 
16 thereof as may be necessary for fiscal year 2000-2001, to the
 
17 department of land and natural resources for development by
 
18 Hawaii Ola Waimanalo for a Hawaiian cultural and educational
 
19 facility in Waimanalo, Hawaii.
