RE: S.R. No. 96
Honorable Ronald D. Kouchi
President of the Senate
Thirty-Second State Legislature
Regular Session of 2024
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committee on Hawaiian Affairs, to which was referred
S.R. No. 96 entitled:
"SENATE RESOLUTION URGING THE DEPARTMENT OF HAWAIIAN HOME
LANDS TO DISPLAY A PORTRAIT OF PRINCE JONAH KUHIO
KALANIANAOLE IN EACH STATE BUILDING, OFFICE, MEETING ROOM,
AND WAITING AREA UNDER THE DEPARTMENT'S JURISDICTION,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose and intent of this measure is to urge the
Department of Hawaiian Home Lands (Department) to display a
portrait of Prince Jonah Kuhio Kalanianaole in each state
building, office, meeting room, and waiting area under the
Department's jurisdiction.
Your Committee received testimony in support of this measure
from the Department of Hawaiian Home Lands.
Your Committee received testimony in opposition to this
measure from one individual.
Your Committee finds that Prince Kuhio served as a non-voting
delegate from Hawaii to the House of Representatives in the United
States Congress for twenty years, beginning in 1902. Of Prince
Kuhio's many accomplishments as a delegate, most notably is the
passage of the Hawaii Homes Commission Act of 1920, which
established the Department of Hawaiian Home Lands. This measure
will encourage the Department of Hawaiian Home Lands to display a

portrait of Prince Kuhio in each state building, office, meeting
room, and waiting area under the Department's jurisdiction to
honor his legacy.
Your Committee notes that Senate Bill No. 278 (2023) is a
similar measure that aims to honor the legacy of Prince Jonah
Kuhio Kalanianaole by requiring certain public buildings near mass
transit projects and on Hawaiian Home Lands to display a portrait
of Prince Jonah Kuhio Kalanianaole.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your
Committee on Hawaiian Affairs that is attached to this report,
your Committee concurs with the intent and purpose of S.R. No. 96
and recommends its adoption.
Respectfully submitted on
behalf of the members of the
Committee on Hawaiian Affairs,
