                                 RE: H.B. No. 869
                                     




Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say
Speaker, House of Representatives
Twentieth State Legislature
Regular Session of 1999
State of Hawaii

Sir:

     Your Committee on Culture and the Arts, to which was
referred H.B. No. 869 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 amend the law relating to the
SFCA by clarifying the roles of the commission, executive
director, and foundation staff. The bill specifies that agencies
receiving capital improvement appropriations are responsible for
calculating the one per cent due to the works of art special
fund.  Finally, the bill adds remedies for noncompliance.

     The State Auditor and the State Foundation on Culture and
the Arts both testified in support of this bill.

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your
Committee on Culture and the Arts that is attached to this
report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose
of H.B. No. 869 and recommends that it pass Second Reading and be
referred to the Committee on Labor and Public Employment.
