A BILL FOR AN ACT
RELATING TO HAWAIIAN MUSIC AND DANCE.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF HAWAII:
SECTION 1. The legislature finds that the history of Hawaiian music and dance demonstrates a proud statement of cultural identity, and that a compilation of the collective works and memorabilia of exceptional individuals who are highly regarded in their respective fields of endeavor will act to preserve and perpetuate the Hawaiian culture, and promote an appreciation for these art forms.
The legislature finds that the establishment of a museum of music, dance, and cultural arts may be facilitated by the creation of an entity to supervise and direct the development of such a museum. Such an endeavor is best accomplished by creating a synergy of individuals and specialists with the experience and knowledge in design, Hawaiian cultural practices, commercial enterprise, and museum conservation that can result in the development of a museum of music, dance, and cultural arts.
