REPORT OF THE <br /> COMMITTEE ON FINANCE <br /> DATE: November 18, 1997 Re: Comm. No. 567Bi11 No. 162 <br /> PLACE: Councilroom <br /> TIME: 11:05 A.M. <br /> Chair and Members <br /> Hawaii County Council <br /> <br /> Hilo, Hawaii 96720 <br /> Your Committee on Finance, to which was referred Bill No. 162, reports as follows: <br /> <br /> Bill No. 162, transmitted by Councilmember Curtis Tyler, via Communication No. 567, dated <br /> October 29, 1997, amends Chapter 2 of the Hawaii County Code 1983 (1995 Edition) by adding <br /> a new section relating to the proper use and spelling of Hawaiian words and terms. <br /> Act 169, enacted by the State Legislature in 1992, recognizes two official languages in this <br /> State, English and Hawaiian. Therefore, the proper use of macrons and glottal stops in the <br /> <br /> Hawaiian language is imperative, whereas, omitting such symbols changes the meaning of the <br /> <br /> word. By using the correct spelling and symbols in documents by or for county agencies and <br /> officials helps to preserve the Hawaiian language and culture of this State. <br /> Your Committee on Finance is in accord with the purpose and intent of Bill No. 162 and <br /> recommends it pass first reading. <br /> <br /> lkc <br /> Ayes lYoex A&E EX <br /> Respectfully submitted <br /> CHUNG X <br /> LEITHEAD-TODD x COMMITTEE ON FINANCE <br /> xAY x <br /> SANTAIVGELO X /q' ~ <br /> SMITH X ~ 1 <br /> TYLER X AARON S. .
