State of Hawaii
Madame:
Your Committee on Judiciary & Hawaiian Affairs, to which was referred H.B. No. 458, H.D. 1, entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO BROTHER JOSEPH DUTTON DAY,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose of this measure is to designate April 27 of every year as Brother Joseph Dutton Day.
Your Committee finds that Brother Joseph Dutton dedicated nearly forty-five years of his life to the residents of Kalaupapa. This measure ensures that Brother Joseph Dutton's legacy will endure for future generations. Your Committee further finds that this measure will also allow the State to annually reflect upon its history while increasing awareness of, and educational opportunities about, the residents of Kalaupapa.
Your Committee has amended this measure by 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 Judiciary & Hawaiian Affairs that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 458, H.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Third Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 458, H.D. 2.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Judiciary & Hawaiian Affairs,
