STAND. COM. REP. NO.  1245-10

Honolulu, Hawaii

                , 2010

RE:   S.C.R. No. 38

      S.D. 1

Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-Fifth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2010

State of Hawaii

Sir:

     Your Committee on Judiciary, to which was referred S.C.R. No. 38, S.D. 1, entitled:

"SENATE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION RECOMMENDING THAT THE KAPOLEI COURT COMPLEX BE RENAMED THE "RONALD T.Y. MOON JUDICIAL COMPLEX","

begs leave to report as follows:

     The purpose of this concurrent resolution is to recommend that the Kapolei Court Complex be named the "Ronald T.Y. Moon Judicial Complex."

     A concerned individual testified in support of this concurrent resolution.

     Your Committee notes the long standing practice of naming our major public buildings to the glorification of our great native Hawaii ali'i, as evidenced by the fact that the majority of our public buildings have Hawaiian names.  Nevertheless, in this special instance this measure seeks to memorialize a living legend and therefore seeks to depart from the common practice.

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Judiciary that is attached to this report, your Committee concurs with the intent and purpose of S.C.R. No. 38, S.D. 1, and recommends its adoption.

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Judiciary,
