RE: S.B. No. 915
S.D. 2
H.D. 1
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 S.B. No. 915, S.D. 2, entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO SPECIAL NUMBER PLATES,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The
purpose of this measure is to
authorize the issuance of special number plates to recognize and honor Duke
Kahanamoku.
Your Committee finds
that Duke Kahanamoku was an all-around waterman, a lifeguard and lifesaver, a
swim record-setter, a swim and surf instructor, a five-time Olympic medalist in
swimming, a sheriff of the City and County of Honolulu, and Hawaii's original
ambassador of aloha. In addition to his
accomplishments as a sportsman, he strongly advocated for water safety and swim
education in the State. Your Committee
further finds that it is appropriate to honor and recognize the contributions and
accomplishments of Duke Kahanamoku by authorizing the issuance of special
number plates with his name and likeness to further promote his legacy of
aloha.
Your
Committee has amended this measure by:
(1) Clarifying the distribution of proceeds from
additional fundraising fees;
(2) Changing the effective date to July 1, 2044,
to encourage further discussion; and
(3) 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 Culture, Arts, & International Affairs that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 915, S.D. 2, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 915, S.D. 2, H.D. 1, and be referred to your Committee on Finance.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Culture, Arts, & International Affairs,
