Akaka Bill to go to Senate with changesThe Star-Bulletin has a
story
about the so-called Akaka Bill, which begins: "An amendment to be filed today in
the U.S. Senate addresses the U.S. Interior Department's concerns about a bill
granting federal recognition to native Hawaiians as an indigenous people. U.S.
Sens. Daniel Akaka and Daniel Inouye wrote this week to the Senate leaders
advising them of the substitute to the Native Hawaiian Government Reorganization
Act, known as the Akaka Bill. They asked that it be scheduled for floor action
before the Memorial Day recess, Paul Cardus, Akaka's spokesman, said
yesterday."
And the Advertiser reports "Native Hawaiian recognition could pick up steam today in the Senate with the filing of an amendment to the Akaka bill that reflects collaboration between lawmakers, the Interior Department and the state. But just how much fuel the amendment will lend to the bill, still awaiting a final Senate vote, won't be evident for a few weeks." ********** Here's the new amended version of the bill. *********** Press Release from Sen. Daniel Akaka: "HAWAII DELEGATION RELEASES AMENDED TEXT OF NATIVE HAWAIIAN GOVERNMENT REORGANIZATION ACT" Another Press Release from Sen. Daniel Akaka: "SUMMARY OF AN AMENDMENT IN THE NATURE OF A SUBSTITUTE TO S. 344, A BILL TO PROVIDE A PROCESS FOR THE REORGANIZATION OF THE NATIVE HAWAIIAN GOVERNING ENTITY AND THE REAFFIRMATION OF THE POLITICAL AND LEGAL RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE UNITED STATES AND THE NATIVE HAWAIIAN GOVERNING ENTITY" Stop the Akaka Bill...
