RE: S.B. No. 541
S.D. 1
H.D. 1
Honorable Scott K. Saiki
Speaker, House of Representatives
Thirty-Second State Legislature
Regular Session of 2024
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committee on Culture, Arts, & International Affairs, to which was referred S.B. No. 541, S.D. 1, entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO HAWAIIAN AFFAIRS,"
begs leave to report as follows:
Your Committee finds that on January 17, 1893, the Hawaiian monarchy and its sovereign monarch, Queen Liliuokalani, were illegally overthrown. Your Committee believes that it is necessary to recognize and remember this historic date to ensure that future generations are aware of the injustices faced by the Hawaiian people.
Your Committee has amended this measure by:
(1) Changing the effective date to July 1, 3000, to encourage further discussion; 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 Culture, Arts, & International Affairs that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 541, S.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 541, S.D. 1, 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,
