STAND. COM. REP. NO. 1056-06

Honolulu, Hawaii

, 2006

RE: S.B. No. 2424

 

 

 

Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-Third State Legislature

Regular Session of 2006

State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committee on Hawaiian Affairs, to which was referred S.B. No. 2424 entitled:

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO THE OFFICE OF HAWAIIAN AFFAIRS,"

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this bill is to clarify that the Office of Hawaiian Affairs (OHA) is required to develop and continually update, but not implement, a strategic plan, instead of a comprehensive master plan. This bill also removes the requirement that OHA must establish immediate goals for OHA.

OHA testified in support of this bill.

As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Hawaiian Affairs that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 2424 and recommends that it pass Second Reading and be placed on the calendar for Third Reading.

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Hawaiian Affairs,
