RE: H.C.R. No. 107

Honorable Scott K. Saiki

Speaker, House of Representatives

Thirty-First State Legislature

Regular Session of 2022

State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committee on Culture, Arts, & International Affairs, to which was referred H.C.R. No. 107 entitled:

"HOUSE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION RECOGNIZING APRIL 17 THROUGH APRIL 23, 2022, AS VOLUNTEER WEEK IN THE STATE OF HAWAII,"

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this measure is to recognize April 17 through April 23, 2022, as Volunteer Week in Hawaii.

Your Committee received testimony in support of this measure from Kanu Hawaii.

Your Committee finds that National Volunteer Week was first designated by President Nixon in 1974 to encourage community engagement through volunteer services. Your Committee further finds that Hawaii recognized and participated in National Volunteer Week in 2020 and 2021. This measure mirrors national recognition of volunteers by recognizing April 17 through April 23, 2022, as Volunteer Week in the State of Hawaii.

As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Culture, Arts, & International Affairs that is attached to this report, your Committee concurs with the intent and purpose of H.C.R. No. 107 and recommends that it be referred to your Committee on Judiciary & Hawaiian Affairs.

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Culture, Arts, & International Affairs,
