Bill overview
This bill aims to strengthen the Native Arts and Culture Promotion Act by making changes to how grants are awarded and ensuring greater representation on the governing board overseeing these grants. Specifically, it removes the requirement for grants to be primarily for private organizations and mandates that the governing board include Native Hawaiians and recognized experts in Native Hawaiian art and culture. The bill also modifies the structure of the board’s composition and responsibilities. It seeks to improve the effectiveness and inclusivity of funding for Native arts and culture programs.
