Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say
Speaker, House of Representatives
Twenty-Third State Legislature
Regular Session of 2006
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committee on Water, Land, & Ocean Resources, to which was referred H.B. No. 2867 entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO CULTURAL AND HISTORIC SITES,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose of this bill is to help preserve Hawaii's cultural and historic heritage by appropriating funds for the Department of Land and Natural Resources (DLNR) to hire a full-time employee or fund contracts to:
(1) Work collaboratively with ethnic civic clubs throughout the state to develop an inventory of cultural or historic sites on public lands that are eligible for inclusion on various cultural or historic registers; and
(2) Conduct an inventory of state facilities to determine if any facility should be included on the various cultural or historic registers.
DLNR submitted comments on this bill.
Your Committee recognizes the importance of preserving our cultural and historic sites. Testimony submitted by DLNR indicated that it has developed internal plans to carry out similar inventories. It is the intent of your Committee to pass this measure out to ensure continued legislative discussion on this important matter.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Water, Land, & Ocean Resources that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 2867 and recommends that it pass Second Reading and be referred to the Committee on Finance.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Water, Land, & Ocean Resources,
