S.D. 2

Honorable Ronald D. Kouchi

President of the Senate

Thirtieth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2020

State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committee on Ways and Means, to which was referred S.B. No. 3067, S.D. 1, entitled:

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO PRINCE JONAH KUHIO KALANIANAOLE,"

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose and intent of this measure is to require certain public buildings located on Hawaiian home lands to display a portrait of Prince Jonah Kuhio Kalanianaole.

Your Committee received written comments in support of this measure from the Department of Hawaiian Home Lands, Oahu Council of the Association of Hawaiian Civic Clubs, and two individuals.

Your Committee received written comments in opposition to this measure from the Center for Hawaiian Sovereignty Studies.

Your Committee finds that this measure supports the recognition of the leadership of Prince Jonah Kuhio Kalanianaole on the centennial anniversary of the adoption by the United States Congress of the Hawaiian Homes Commission Act of 1920, authored by Prince Kuhio.

Your Committee has amended this measure by:

(1) Changing the effective date to July 1, 2050, to facilitate further discussion on the measure; and

(2) Making technical nonsubstantive amendments for the purposes of clarity, consistency, and style.

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 S.B. No. 3067, S.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Third Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 3067, S.D. 2.

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Ways and Means,
