NELLIST Published by THE HONOLULU STAR-BULLETIN, LTD. Territory of Hawaii I 9 3 O av .M.n.., ;w»$. _._.fim..sm«._ us. 2..M... 9.3%..3;.sfl.. Copyright, 1930, Honolulu Star-Bulletin, Limited Honolulu, Territory of Hawaii. U.S.A. FOREWORD “ EN OF HAWAII,’ is the fourth volume of bio­ graphical records in the regular series which has been published, beginning with l9l7, by The Honolulu Star­ Bulletin. This series aims to make available for the present, and to preserve for the future, the life stories of leaders in various fields of the Hawaiian Islands. It is a history of community and territorial progress, told in the form of biographical sketches, and the steady demand for the editions of previous years has abundantly illustrated its interest and its value. Both as a record of enterprise and achievement, and as a compilation of chronological facts, “Nlen of Hawaii" has be­ -comea standard reference work in Hawaii and abroad. Copies are sent all over the world. Libraries in distant cities call for the succeeding editions. Locally, the book is constantly in use. This book is Volume IV of “lVlen of Hawaii.” The first edition was in l9l7, the second in l9Zl, the third in I925. To a certain degree the present edition supplements and com­ plements “Builders of Hawaii” U925), with which was incorporated that year’s edition of ‘‘Men of Hawaii.” For the broadest coverage of Hawaiian biographical record, "Builders of Hawaii" and this l930 edition of ‘‘Men of Hawaii" should be treated as one work, and so maintained in reference libraries.

BOX 541 HONOLULU, HAWAII 96809 Phone Number: 586-2850 Fax Number: 586-2856 cca.hawaii.gov Testimony of the Department of Commerce and Consumer Affairs Before the Senate Committee on Commerce, Consumer Protection, and Health Thursday, February 20, 2020 9:00 a.m. State Capitol, Conference Room 229 On the following measure: S.B. 3130, RELATING TO CEMETERIES Chair Baker and Members of the Committee: My name is Charlene Tamanaha, and I am the Licensing Administrator of the Department of Commerce and Consumer Affairs’ (Department) Professional and Vocational Licensing Division. The Department prefers the language of S.B. 2883 to the language of this bill and therefore opposes S.B. 3130. The purpose of this bill is to allow any cemetery authority to be exempted from licensing, bonding, and fee requirements when selling or offering use of its property or portion thereof for the inurnment of cremated remains of its members, adherents, and their families. The Department believes that the focus of the bill is too narrow because it only addresses the inurnment of cremated remains. The Department also believes that the bill’s use of “church, religious society, or denomination” on page 2, lines 10 to 11 is too broad. Testimony of DCCA S.B. 3130 Page 2 of 2 By comparison, S.B. 2883 clarifies that churches granted an exemption under Hawaii Revised Statutes (HRS) section 441-22.1 are exempt from all requirements of HRS chapter 441, and that other exempted entities shall comply with any provision of that chapter upon order of the Department’s Director.
