A BILL FOR AN ACT
RELATING TO PUBLIC EMPLOYMENT.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF HAWAII:
SECTION 1. Act 253, Session Laws of Hawaii 2000, and Act 300, Session Laws of Hawaii 2006, aimed to reduce the number of civil service exempt employees in public service within the State. The legislature finds that there have been few conversions of civil service exempt positions to civil service positions since the enactment of those Acts and that conversions are overdue.
The purpose of this Act is to amend sections of the Hawaii Revised Statutes to conform with Act 253, Session Laws of Hawaii 2000, which placed restrictions on the creation of civil service exempt positions and required an annual review of exempt positions to determine whether exempt positions should remain exempt or be converted to civil service positions.

(2) Acquisition of historic or cultural properties, real or personal, in fee or in any lesser interest, by gift, purchase, condemnation, devise, bequest, land exchange, or other means; preservation, restoration, administration, or transference of the property; and the charging of reasonable admissions to that property;
(3) Development of a statewide survey and inventory to identify and document historic properties, aviation artifacts, and burial sites, including all those owned by the State and the counties;
(4) Preparation of information for the Hawaii register of historic places and listing on the national register of historic places;
(5) Preparation, review, and revisions of a state historic preservation plan, including budget requirements and land use recommendations;

(13) Regulation of archaeological activities throughout the State;
(14) Employment of sufficient professional and
technical staff for the purposes of this chapter which [may] shall
be in accordance with chapter 76;
