STAND. COM. REP. NO. 3542
Honolulu, Hawaii
H.D. 1
S.D. 2
President of the Senate
Twenty-Ninth State Legislature
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committee on Ways and Means, to which was referred H.B. No. 2455, H.D. 1, S.D. 1, entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT MAKING AN APPROPRIATION TO THE DEPARTMENT OF BUSINESS, ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, AND TOURISM FOR THE 2018 GANNENMONO CELEBRATION,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose and intent of this measure is to make an emergency appropriation of $150,000 to the Department of Business, Economic Development, and Tourism for gannenmono celebrations.
Your Committee received written comments in support of this measure from the Department of Business, Economic Development, and Tourism and the Oahu County Committee on Legislative Priorities of the Democratic Party of Hawaii.
Your Committee finds that the State should provide adequate and timely funding to celebrate the one hundred fiftieth anniversary of the arrival in Hawaii of the first group of organized Japanese immigrants, known as the gannenmono.
Your Committee has amended this measure by changing the appropriation from $150,000 to an unspecified amount to facilitate further discussion on the measure.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Ways and Means that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 2455, H.D. 1, S.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Third Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 2455, H.D. 1, S.D. 2.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Ways and Means,
