Sir:
Your Committee on Finance, to which was referred S.B. No. 1615, H.D. 1, entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO NORTH KOHALA,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose of this bill is to protect and preserve historical sites by:

(2) Designating the Mo'okini Luakini Corporation as the official protector and caretaker of Mo'okini Heiau.
The Office of Hawaiian Affairs and Kamehameha Schools testified in support of this bill. Mo'okini Luakini, Inc., supported this measure, in part. DLNR opposed this measure.
Your Committee has amended this bill by:
(1) Changing the effective date to July 1, 2010, to promote further discussion; and

As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Finance that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 1615, H.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Third Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 1615, H.D. 2.
