STAND. COM. REP. NO.  772

Honolulu, Hawaii

                , 2011

RE:   H.B. No. 1622

      H.D. 1

Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-Sixth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2011

State of Hawaii

Sir:

     Your Committee on Finance, to which was referred H.B. No. 1622 entitled:

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO HISTORIC PRESERVATION,"

begs leave to report as follows:

     The purpose of this bill is to require the construction of a state law enforcement memorial in the Capitol District, provided private funds are solicited and used for the construction of the memorial.

     A concerned individual testified in support of this bill.  Historic Hawai‘i Foundation testified in opposition to this bill.

     Your Committee has amended this bill by:

     (1)  Placing the provision regarding the construction of the        state law enforcement memorial in Session Laws of             Hawaii, rather than the Hawaii Revised Statutes; and

     (2)  Making technical, nonsubstantive amendments for                    clarity and style.

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Finance that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 1622, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Third Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 1622, H.D. 1.

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