Subject: HB 266 HD 1, Relating To Hawaiian Affairs,
“SUPPORT WITH AMENDMENTS”

ALOHA Kakou,
My name is Richard Pomaikaiokalani Kinney. As Sovereign of the Hawaiian Political Action Council of Hawaii, I “SUPPORT WITH AMENDMENTS” the passage of HB 266 HD 1.
Mahalo nui to the writers of this Bill for the removal of the use of terms such as “settlement and “claims” based on the recent Hawaii Supreme Court ruling based on the findings of the Apology Resolution, Public Law 103-150.
This is a move in the right direction for “Justice For Hawaiians.”
I recommend the following amendments to HB 266 HD 1,
