State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committees on Culture & the Arts and Hawaiian Affairs and Education, to which was referred H.B. No. 1557, H.D. 1, entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO CULTURE,"
beg leave to report as follows:
Aupuni O Hawaii; Nanakuli Hawaiian Homestead Community Association, Sovereign Councils of Hawaiian Homelands Assembly; Kewalo Hawaiian Homestead Community Association, Sovereign Councils of Hawaiian Homelands Assembly; Mokupuni O Oahu, Sovereign Councils of Hawaiian Homelands Assembly; Waianae Kai Homestead Community Association, Sovereign Councils of Hawaiian Homelands Assembly; Kuakini Hawaiian Civic Club of Kona; Sovereign Councils of Hawaiian Homelands Assembly; and one individual testified in support of this measure. The Department of Education provided comments.
Your Committees have amended this measure by:
(1) Requiring the after-school plus program to include "activities", rather than "instruction", in Hawaiian language, culture, or art; and
(2) Authorizing, rather than requiring, the Department of Education to adopt implementing rules.
As affirmed by the records of votes of the members of your Committees on Culture & the Arts and Hawaiian Affairs and Education that are attached to this report, your Committees are in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 1557, H.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommend that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 1557, H.D. 2, and be referred to the Committee on Finance.
