STAND. COM. REP. NO. 2101
Honolulu, Hawaii
RE: S.B. No. 304
S.D. 1
Honorable Colleen Hanabusa
President of the Senate
Twenty-Fourth State Legislature
Regular Session of 2008
State of Hawaii
Madam:
Your Committee on Economic Development and Taxation, to which was referred S.B. No. 304 entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO CULTURE,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose of this short form bill is to amend the law relating to culture.
Your Committee has amended this measure by deleting its contents and inserting the language from S.B. No. 3162, which appropriates funds to support the Honolulu Symphony and its programs.
Your Committee has amended this measure to address a concern that the title of S.B. No. 3162, MAKING AN APPROPRIATION FOR THE HONOLULU SYMPHONY AND ITS PROGRAMS, is too narrow. The broader title of S.B. No. 304 will give both the Legislature and the Honolulu Symphony greater flexibility to address any additional concerns that may arise during the legislative session.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Economic Development and Taxation that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 304, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 304, S.D. 1, and be recommitted to the Committee on Economic Development and Taxation, for further consideration.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Economic Development and Taxation,
