STAND. COM. REP. NO. 2808
Honolulu, Hawaii
RE: S.B. No. 2433
S.D. 2
Honorable Colleen Hanabusa
President of the Senate
Twenty-Fourth State Legislature
Regular Session of 2008
State of Hawaii
Madam:
Your Committee on Ways and Means, to which was referred S.B. No. 2433, S.D. 1, entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO IOLANI PALACE,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose of this measure is to establish standards and conditions for the receipt of state funds by the State of Hawaii Museum of Monarchy History.
Your Committee received testimony in support of this measure from a representative of Iolani Palace.
Your Committee finds that the State of Hawaii Museum of Monarchy History, formerly known as the Friends of Iolani Palace has served as the "de facto" caretaker of Iolani Palace by maintaining the Palace for many decades. The State of Hawaii Museum of Monarch History, however, is exempted from the standards and conditions imposed under chapter 42F, Hawaii Revised Statutes, for the receipt of state funds.
This measure addresses that issue by establishing standards and conditions that the State of Hawaii Museum of Monarch History must meet to receive state funds. The standards and conditions are based on standards for the awarding of grants and subsidies under chapter 42F, Hawaii Revised Statutes.
Your Committee has amended the measure by:
(1) Correcting a reference to "non-profit" organizations that should read "tax-exempt" organizations; and
(2) Making other technical amendments that have no substantive effect.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Ways and Means that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 2433, S.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Third Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 2433, S.D. 2.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Ways and Means,
