HR 158 Hawaii House · 2025 Regular Session

URGING THE STATE FOUNDATION ON CULTURE AND THE ARTS TO ESTABLISH AN ANNUAL FESTIVAL CELEBRATING PACIFIC ISLAND CULTURE AND ARTS.

This House Resolution (HR 158) urges the Hawaii State Foundation on Culture and the Arts to create an annual festival celebrating Pacific Island cultures and arts. It directly addresses the Foundation, referencing the success of Hawaii's 2024 FestPAC event (which drew 500,000 visitors) as a model. The resolution does not create new law but formally requests the Foundation, in consultation with other agencies, to establish this recurring event to promote Pacific cultural heritage and regional connections.

MINOR

This document appears to be a corrupted or improperly formatted file rather than a legitimate legislative bill. The original House Resolution HR 158, which urged the State Foundation on Culture and the Arts to establish an annual Pacific Island festival, has been replaced with what looks like corrupted metadata and formatting artifacts from a Microsoft Word document (indicated by references to 'HR HD.dotm' and various timestamps). No substantive policy changes can be identified because the actual legislative text has been lost in the conversion process.

TECHNICAL

Original legislative text and formatting were replaced with corrupted metadata and file artifacts

Corrupted metadata including timestamps, file references, and binary character artifacts were inserted

Document structure changed from clean legislative format to corrupted file export format
