Honorable Joseph M. Souki

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-Ninth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2017

State of Hawaii

 

Sir:

 

     Your Committee on Veterans, Military, & International Affairs, & Culture and the Arts, to which was referred H.C.R. No. 199 entitled:

 

"HOUSE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION ENCOURAGING THE STATE FOUNDATION ON CULTURE AND THE ARTS TO COMMISSION PERMANENT EXHIBITS AND DISPLAY INFORMATION RELATING TO ART, CULTURE, HISTORY, AND THE HUMANITIES AT THE HAWAII STATE CAPITOL, WHICH MAY COINCIDE WITH THE CELEBRATION OF THE FIFTIETH ANNIVERSARY OF THE HAWAII STATE CAPITOL,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose of this measure is to encourage the State Foundation on Culture and the Arts to commission permanent exhibits and display information relating to art, culture, history, and the humanities at the Hawaii State Capitol, which may coincide with the celebration of the fiftieth anniversary of the Hawaii State Capitol.

 

     The State Foundation on Culture and the Arts and Legislative Reference Bureau submitted comments.

 

     Your Committee has amended this measure by deleting provisions that requested:

 

     (1)  The State Foundation on Culture and the Arts to study whether statutory authorization to sell works of art that the Foundation already owns and to use those proceeds to acquire other works of art that can be readily displayed for public appreciation would further facilitate the Foundation's mission; and

 

     (2)  Requested the Legislative Reference Bureau, at the request of the State Foundation on Culture and the Arts, to assist with this study.

 

     Your Committee has also made technical, nonsubstantive amendments for clarity, consistency, and style.

 

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Veterans, Military, & International Affairs, & Culture and the Arts that is attached to this report, your Committee concurs with the intent and purpose of H.C.R. No. 199, as amended herein, and recommends that it be referred to your Committee on Finance in the form attached hereto as H.C.R. No. 199, H.D. 1.

 

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Veterans, Military, & International Affairs, & Culture and the Arts,
