Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say
Speaker, House of Representatives
Twenty-First State Legislature
Regular Session of 2001
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committee on Public Safety and Military Affairs, to which was referred S.B. No. 552, S.D. 2, entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT MAKING AN APPROPRIATION FOR A KOREAN WAR MUSEUM,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose of this bill is to make an appropriation of general funds to the Department of Business, Economic Development, and Tourism (DBEDT) for the establishment of a national Korean War Museum in Hawaii.
The Office of Veterans Services, the Veterans of Foreign Wars, and six concerned individuals testified in support of this measure. DBEDT opposed this measure but supported its concept.
Your Committee has amended this measure by:
(1) Changing the specifications regarding the matching funds to provide that funds shall be made available only to the extent that federal or private funds provide $2 for every $1 of state funds; and
(2) Making technical, nonsubstantive amendments for purposes of clarity and style.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Public Safety and Military Affairs that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 552, S.D. 2, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 552, S.D. 2, H.D. 1, and be referred to the Committee on Finance.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Public Safety and Military Affairs,
