The Senate NORTHERN MARI ANAS COMMONWEALTH LEGISLATURE P.O The Senate NORTHERN MARI ANAS COMMONWEALTH LEGISLATURE P.O. BOX 500129 SAIPAN. MP 96950 STANDING COMMITTEE REPORT NO. 4'1-/4\ Date: June 2, 2020 RE: Senate Bill No. 21-46 Honorable Victor B. Hocog President of the Senate Twenty-First Northern Marianas Commonwealth Legislature Saipan, MP 96950 Dear Mr. President: Your Committee on Health, Education, and Welfare, to which was referred Senate Bill No. 21-46, entitled: "To award honorary high school diplomas for certain senior citizens; and for other purposes." begs leave to report as follows: I. RECOMMENDATION: After considerable discussion and deliberation, your Committee recommends the passage of Senate Bill No. 21-46, in the form of Senate Draft 1. II. ANALYSIS: A) Purpose: The purpose of Senate Bill No. 21-46 is to award honorary high school diplomas to certain senior citizens of the Commonwealth. Page 1 STANDING COMMITTEE R EPORT NO. 21 -!l RE: SENATE BILL NO. 21-46 8 ) Committee Findings: Your Committee finds that the unique history of the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands has greatly impacted the political and economic development resulting in the resiliency of its residents. During World War II, these islands were the battle grounds of what would become a significant position for the national security of the United States to end the war. However, the complete devastation of the infrastructures throughout the islands forced the residents to begin rebuilding homes, government services, and businesses for a new economy under the guidance of the Naval Administration. Additionally, the loss oflives from the battles compelled many residents to place the safety of their family or extended family members as a priority and they worked tirelessly to make ends meet to provide and care for their families. Your Committee further finds that with all the focus placed on rebuilding the economy and taking care of family, many residents were unable to complete their education. Despite the inability to complete their education, these residents prevailed through the workforce and acquired necessary work skills that attributed to the successful development of a new government in political union with the United States. Your Committee finds that after further review of the proposed legislation and comments received by the Office of the Attorney General, Mayor of Saipan, and Rota Municipal Council that additional amendments to give the Public School System and Board of Education the discretion of awarding honorary diplomas were necessary to clearly state the intent and goal of the proposed legislation. It is for these reasons that your Committee strongly supports the provisions proposed in Senate Bill No. 21-46, Senate Draft 1. C) Legislative History: Senate Bill No. 21-46 was formally introduced by Senator Teresita A. Santos on November 13, 2019 and was subsequently referred to the Senate Standing Committee on Health, Education, and Welfare for disposition. D) Public Hearing and Comment: No public hearing was scheduled for Senate Bill No. 21-46. However, a Committee Meeting was held on January 16, 2020 and June 2, 2020 to deliberate on the provisions stated in the proposed legislation. Your Committee requested for comments on November 20, 2019 with a deadline to respond by December 20, 2019. To date, status of comments from the foregoing organization(s) and government agencies are as follows: Page 2 STANDING COMMITTEE R EPORT NO. 21 -~ RE: SENATE BILL No. 21-46 I. Office ofthe Attorney General; Received 122319 2. Mayor of Rota; No comments received. 3. Mayor of Tinian and Aguiguan; No comments received. 4. Mayor of Saipan; Received 120619 5.

Saipan and Northern Islands Municipal Council; No comments received. 9. PSS Board of Education and Commissioner; No comments received. E) Estimated Fiscal Cost: The enactment of Senate Bill No. 21 -46, Senate Draft I may result in minimal costs to the CNMI government associated with the costs necessary to carry out the intent of this proposed legislation. F) Summary of Committee Amendments: Your Committee has taken into account the comments received by the departments, agencies and private organizations and has amended Senate Bill No. 21-46 accordingly: • Title: Amended to reflect amendments recommended by the Office of the Attorney General (OAG), to read: "To authorize the award of honorary high school diplomas to fef certain senior citizens; and for other purposes." • Section 1. Findings and Purpose: Inserted new language as recommended by the OAG, beginning on page 1, line 7, to read: "It is the intent of the Legislature, therefore, to enact a new provision that will authorize the CNMI Public School System to bestow honorary high school diplomas for certain senior citizens." • Section 2. Enactment, §101(1): Inserted and deleted language on page 1, line 13, to read: "The CNMI Public School System is authorized to shall award an honorary high school diploma to any current or former resident of the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI):" • Section 2. Enactment, §101(2): Inserted and deleted language on page 2, line 5, to read: "The CNMI Public School System and each respective Mayor may shall work collaboratively to implement this Section." Page 3 STANDING COMMITTEE R EPORT No. 21 -~ RE: SENATE BILL NO. 21-46 Ill.

  • Climate Change Vulnerability Assessment for the Island of Saipan, CNMI
    Climate Change Vulnerability Assessment For the Island of Saipan, CNMI January 2014 Saipan Climate Change Vulnerability Assessment | i About This Document The Climate Change Vulnerability Assessment for the island of Saipan is the product of a year-long collaboration between the CNMI Division of Coastal Resources Management and the participating agencies and organizations of the CNMI Climate Change Working Group. Ongoing support for the Vulnerability Assessment and Climate Change Working Group was provided by the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, and contributions to the assessment stem from a wide range of federal and CNMI government agencies, non-governmental organizations, and community groups. Additional technical resources, tools, and expertise were leveraged from organizations throughout the Insular Pacific and beyond. The cumulative result of this diverse input is a project that meshes a community-based assessment and local knowledge with technical analysis and inquiry. This document presents the Vulnerability Assessment by highlighting its findings, as well as the process and information used to arrive at conclusions and recommendations. It is as much a framework for a mixed-methods assessment process as it is community narrative and practical study. Document Usage and Limitations This document is intended as an initial screening tool for prioritization of climate adaptation work on the island of Saipan. Usage of the Vulnerability Assessment should be limited to broad planning and policy purposes. Analysis of specific resources and geographic areas was conducted under potential future scenarios, which introduces inherent uncertainties and complicates field verification. As such, the findings, recommendations, and data within this document are not appropriate for application to site-specific engineering or other projects involving alterations to the physical landscape.

GENERAL BACKGROUND The Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands is compromised of 14 lovely islands in northern Micronesia. On our three main islands of Saipan, Tinian and Rota, one experiences the unhurried, friendly lifestyle and warm, island hospitality that are as unforgettable as our magical Micronesian sunsets. The population of the Northern Mariana Islands, as of January 1, 2011, is estimated at 50,000. Saipan, our largest island and the proposed site for the 2017 Pacific Mini Games, is the most developed of the Northern Marianas, and is home to most of our population. Saipan offers the visiting athlete an inviting combination of modern amenities, such as a thriving tourism district with world-class hotels, restaurants, and shops, and the beauty of a clean and quiet tropical island. Almost all major venues, including proposed Games villages, sports venues, and leisure sites, are located within a short walk or drive.
