STAND. COM. REP. NO.370
Honolulu, Hawaii
, 2003
RE: S.B. No. 455
Honorable Robert Bunda
President of the Senate
Twenty-Second State Legislature
Regular Session of 2003
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committee on Science, Arts, and Technology, to which was referred S.B. No. 455 entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT MAKING AN APPROPRIATION TO THE FRIENDS OF WAIPAHU CULTURAL GARDEN PARK,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose of this measure is to make an appropriation of matching funds for the Friends of Waipahu Cultural Garden Park to provide for ongoing programs at Hawaii's Plantation Village.
Testimony in support of this measure was received from the State Foundation on Culture and the Arts, Hawaii's Plantation Village, The Filipino Community Center, Inc., First Samoan Pentecostal Church, Spectrum Health Systems, Inc., Waipahu Community Association, and seven individuals.
Your Committee finds that Hawaii's Plantation Village provides an educational experience for residents and visitors alike that shares the cultural aspects of Hawaii's plantation history. Your Committee further finds that the appropriation is a dollar-for-dollar request for state matching funds to be used with private donations from the Friends of Waipahu Cultural Garden Park. Your Committee notes however, that this measure is a grant-in-aid request that must comply with the requirements of Chapter 42F, Hawaii Revised Statutes, which requires a written application be submitted to appropriate entities for review and consideration separately from this measure.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Science, Arts, and Technology that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 455 and recommends that it pass Second Reading and be referred to the Committee on Ways and Means.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Science, Arts, and Technology,
____________________________ DAVID Y. IGE, Chair |
