RE: H.B. No. 2051
H.D. 1
Honorable Joseph M. Souki
Speaker, House of Representatives
Twenty-Seventh State Legislature
Regular Session of 2014
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committee on Veterans, Military, & International Affairs, & Culture and the Arts, to which was referred H.B. No. 2051 entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO PUBLIC WORKS OF ART,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose of this measure is to continue the work initiated to honor the late U.S. Senator Daniel K. Inouye and the late U.S. Representative Patsy T. Mink through commissioning permanent works of art to honor their legacies and their contributions to the people of Hawaii. Specifically, this measure amends Act 281, Session Laws of Hawaii 2013, by:
(1) Clarifying that the permanent work of art portraying the life, vision, accomplishments, impact and legacy of Senator Daniel K. Inouye need not be a three-dimensional work of art;
(2) Clarifying that the designs for the works of art portraying Senator Daniel K. Inouye and Representative Patsy T. Mink need not include their likeness at some stage of their life;
(3) Deleting the requirement that the work of art portraying Senator Daniel K. Inouye be installed for unveiling on the second anniversary of his death;
(4) Stipulating that an adequate sum rather than $250,000 be appropriated for the 2013-2015 fiscal biennium to commission the works of art; and
(5) Changing the expending agency for the funds for the commissioning of artwork from the Department of Accounting and General Services to the State Foundation on Culture and the Arts.
Your Committee has amended this measure by:
(1) Retaining the requirement that the work of art portraying Senator Daniel K. Inouye be installed for unveiling on the second anniversary of his death;
(2) Leaving the appropriation amounts provided in Act 281, Session Laws of Hawaii 2013, of $250,000 for Fiscal Years 2013-2014 and 2014-2015, unchanged, rather than stipulating that the appropriated amount should be an adequate sum;
(3) Changing its effective date to July 1, 2050, to facilitate further discussion; and
(4) Making technical, nonsubstantive amendments for clarity, consistency, and style.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Veterans, Military, & International Affairs, & Culture and the Arts that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 2051, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 2051, H.D. 1, and be referred to the Committee on Finance.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Veterans, Military, & International Affairs, & Culture and the Arts,
