"Changes proposed in the process of finding common ground to move forward with passage of the Hawaiian Recognition Bill"On January 20, 2010, Attorney General Mark Bennett, with the concurrence of Governor Lingle, sent his letter transmitting proposed amendments to S. 1011 Substitute Amendment to the Hawai’i Congressional Delegation.
Attorney General Bennett has included in his proposed amendments some changes to the bill that address issues raised by the Office of Hawaiian Affairs (OHA). These proposed changes addressing issues raised by OHA, are consistent with our constitutional and statutory
requirements.
Get the latest information on the bill.
Here you'll find:
It is anticipated that the next step is an opportunity for the Attorney General and OHA to discuss concerns with the Hawai’i Congressional Delegation and U.S. Department of Justice to find common ground to achieve passage of a Hawaiian recognition bill that is fair and empowering for Native Hawaiians, and beneficial for all Hawai’i.
You'll also see here a copy of the Attorney General’s letter; the proposed amendments in a redlined version of the substitute amendment; and a document that sets forth each proposed amendment accompanied by a brief explanatory rationale for each proposed amendment.
