      S.D. 2

 

 

 

 

Honorable Joseph M. Souki

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-Seventh State Legislature

Regular Session of 2013

State of Hawaii

 

Sir:

 

     Your Committee on Ocean, Marine Resources, & Hawaiian Affairs, to which was referred S.B. No. 406, S.D. 2, entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO TRAINING,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose of this measure is to support the protection of Native Hawaiian rights by mandating that members of certain state councils, boards, and commissions take a Native Hawaiian law training course to be developed or approved by the Office of Hawaiian Affairs.

 

     Your Committee notes that the measure, as currently drafted, does not specifically pertain to councils, boards, and commissions within the Hawaii criminal justice system.  Should the Committee on Judiciary consider this measure, your Committee respectfully requests that the inclusion of councils, boards, and commissions within the Hawaii criminal justice system be considered.

 

     The Office of Hawaiian Affairs, Association of Hawaiian Civic Clubs, and several individuals testified in support of this measure.  The Land Use Research Foundation of Hawaii testified in opposition of this measure.  The Department of Land and Natural Resources and Community Alliance on Prisons provided comments on this measure.
     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Ocean, Marine Resources, & Hawaiian Affairs that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 406, S.D. 2, and recommends that it pass Second Reading and be referred to the Committee on Judiciary.

 

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Ocean, Marine Resources, & Hawaiian Affairs,
