STAND. COM. REP. NO. 1027

 

Honolulu, Hawaii

                  

 

RE:    H.B. No. 494

       H.D. 1

 

 

 

Honorable Donna Mercado Kim

President of the Senate

Twenty-Seventh State Legislature

Regular Session of 2013

State of Hawaii

 

Madam:

 

     Your Committee on Technology and the Arts, to which was referred H.B. No. 494, H.D. 1, entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO URBAN ART,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose and intent of this measure is to establish a pilot program for the creation of urban art on state-owned property under the direction of the State Foundation on Culture and the Arts.

 

     Your Committee received testimony in support of this measure from the Department of Transportation and State Foundation on Culture and the Arts.

 

     Your Committee finds that providing legitimate, state-owned venues for urban art will enrich the State's communities in many ways, including reducing graffiti by expanding opportunities for appropriate creative social expression.  This measure will encourage Hawaii's youth to work on creative and constructive urban art.

 

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Technology and the Arts that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 494, H.D. 1, and recommends that it pass Second Reading and be referred to the Committee on Ways and Means.

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Technology and the Arts,
