Sir:

     Your Committee on Higher Education, to which was referred S.B. No. 2110, S.D. 1, entitled:

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO THE PRESERVATION OF HAWAII'S MOVING IMAGES,"

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this measure is to help preserve Hawaii's historical film, videotape, and audiovisual materials and increase access to such materials by designating ‘Ulu‘ulu: The Henry Ku‘ualoha Giugni Moving Image Archive of Hawai‘i as the official state archive for moving images and to establish a special fund for its support.

The University of Hawaii at West Oahu and several concerned individuals supported this measure.  The Department of Budget and Finance provided comments.

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Higher Education that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 2110, S.D. 1, and recommends that it pass Second Reading and be referred to the Committee on Finance.

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Higher Education,
