Committee advances SCR 131 urging state acquisition of Hawaii Theatre to preserve culture and public use
Summary
The committee passed SCR 131 asking the state to pursue acquisition of the Hawaii Theatre to preserve its historic and cultural significance and facilitate continued public use; no public testimony appeared at the hearing.
The House Committee on Culture, Arts & International Affairs voted to advance SCR 131 on April 11 in Conference Room 309. The concurrent resolution urges the state to acquire the Hawaii Theatre to promote local culture and arts, preserve its historic and cultural significance, and facilitate continued public use.
Committee members noted that the House had already heard the measure's companion and that written testimony had been submitted but no supporters appeared to speak in this hearing. After brief consideration the committee passed the measure as is.
The committee recorded the vote in favor; no reservations or no votes were recorded. The recommendation was adopted and the measure will be reported out of committee.
The resolution itself requests state action but does not appropriate funds or create a binding acquisition obligation; any purchase would require separate authorizing and funding steps.
