RE:    S.C.R. No. 10

       S.D. 1

Honorable Donna Mercado Kim

President of the Senate

Twenty-Seventh State Legislature

Regular Session of 2013

State of Hawaii

Madam:

     Your Committees on Public Safety, Intergovernmental and Military Affairs and Technology and the Arts, to which was referred S.C.R. No. 10 entitled:

"SENATE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION URGING HAWAII'S CONGRESSIONAL DELEGATION TO SEEK FEDERAL FUNDING TO MATCH STATE FUNDS TO SUPPORT PUBLIC WORKS OF ART HONORING THE LATE SENATOR DANIEL K. INOUYE AND THE LATE REPRESENTATIVE PATSY T. MINK,"

beg leave to report as follows:

     The purpose and intent of this measure is to urge Hawaii's Congressional Delegation to seek federal funding to match state funds to support public works of art honoring the late United States Senator Daniel K. Inouye and the late United States Representative Patsy T. Mink.

     Your Committees received testimony in support of this measure from the State Foundation on Culture and the Arts and one individual.  Your Committees received testimony in opposition to this measure from one individual.

     Your Committees find that the State Foundation on Culture and the Arts requires funding to commission a permanent, three-dimensional work of art to portray the life, vision, accomplishments, impact, and legacy of the late Senator Daniel K. Inouye and the late Representative Patsy T. Mink.  This measure seeks financial support to honor the memory of the late Senator Inouye and the late Representative Mink and to use their examples of public service to inspire current and future generations.

     Your Committees have amended this measure by making technical, nonsubstantive amendments for the purposes of clarity and consistency.

     As affirmed by the records of votes of the members of your Committees on Public Safety, Intergovernmental and Military Affairs and Technology and the Arts that are attached to this report, your Committees concur with the intent and purpose of S.C.R. No. 10, as amended herein, and recommend that it be referred to the Committee on Ways and Means, in the form attached hereto as S.C.R. No. 10, S.D. 1.

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committees on Public Safety, Intergovernmental and Military Affairs and Technology and the Arts,
