Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say

Speaker, House of Representatives

State of Hawaii

 

Sir:

 

     Your Committee on Finance, to which was referred S.B. No. 3053, S.D. 2, H.D. 1, entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO NATIVE HAWAIIANS,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose of this measure is to establish and appropriate funds for the Aha Moku Advisory Committee within the Department of Land and Natural Resources to advise the Chairperson of the Board of Land and Natural Resources on issues related to traditional indigenous land and natural resources management practices that will protect the environment, promote sustainability, and preserve Hawaiian culture.

 

     The Aha Moku Advisory Committee and Association of Hawaiian Civic Clubs supported the measure.  The Office of Hawaiian Affairs opposed the measure.  The Department of Land and Natural Resources and a concerned individual offered comments on the measure.   

 

     Your Committee has amended this measure by:

 

     (1)  Changing its effective date to July 1, 2030, to promote further discussion; and

 

     (2)  Making technical, nonsubstantive amendments for the purposes of clarity and consistency.

 

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Finance that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 3053, S.D. 2, H.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Third Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 3053, S.D. 2, H.D. 2.

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Finance,
