STAND. COM. REP. NO. 2657

Honolulu, Hawaii

RE:    S.C.R. No. 38

       S.D. 1

Honorable Colleen Hanabusa

President of the Senate

Twenty-Fifth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2010

State of Hawaii

Madam:

     Your Committee on Judiciary and Government Operations, to which was referred S.C.R. No. 38 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 measure is to recommend that the Kapolei Court Complex be renamed the "Ronald T.Y. Moon Judicial Complex".

     Testimony in support of the measure was submitted by one individual.  Testimony in opposition to the measure was submitted by one individual.  Written testimony presented to your Committee may be reviewed on the Legislature's website.

     Your Committee finds that Chief Justice Ronald T.Y. Moon has served this State well as the Chief Justice of the Hawaii Supreme Court since 1993.  He has been a decisive and tireless leader of the Judiciary and has shown unwavering support for increasing access to the judicial system, especially for traditionally underserved communities, such as the Leeward Coast on Oahu.  Your Committee finds that renaming the Kapolei Court Complex after Chief Justice Moon shows the State's deep appreciation for his tremendous service to the Judiciary and the State.

     Your Committee has amended this measure by making technical, nonsubstantive amendments for purposes of clarity and style.

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

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Judiciary and Government Operations,
