RE: H.C.R. No. 45

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. 45 entitled:

"HOUSE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION ENCOURAGING ALL COUNTIES OF HAWAII TO CREATE A SPECIAL NUMBER PLATE DESIGN FOR MOTOR VEHICLES TO COMMEMORATE THE ACCOMPLISHMENTS OF CARISSA KAINANI MOORE,"

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this measure is to encourage all counties of Hawaii to create a special number plate design for motor vehicles to commemorate the accomplishments of Carissa Kainani Moore.

Your Committee received testimony in support of this measure from one individual.

Your Committee finds that Carissa Kainani Moore is the first female gold medalist in Olympic surfing history. Your Committee further finds that in addition to Ms. Moore's many accomplishments on the water, she is an outstanding member of Hawaii's community and has donated her time and resources to numerous causes including support for charities, local surf clubs, speaking out against sexism and body-shaming, and bringing attention to eating disorders. This measure recognizes and honors Ms. Moore's contributions in and out of the water by encouraging all counties in the State to create a special number plate to commemorate her accomplishments.

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. 45 and recommends its adoption.

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