AI Summary
This bill establishes the Mapping of Arts Data for Education Task Force, also known as the MADE task force, to address the lack of a centralized, comprehensive, and publicly accessible statewide database of arts entities and programs in Hawaii. The task force, composed of various representatives from arts organizations, educational institutions, government bodies, and community foundations, will conduct a statewide survey of schools, municipal services, nonprofit organizations, and private businesses involved in arts and arts education. Its primary goal is to develop a publicly available database and a geographic information system (GIS) map that shows the availability and geographic distribution of arts programs and services across all counties, aiming to improve access to arts education and inform policy and funding decisions, with interim and final reports due to the Legislature in 2027 and 2029 respectively, and the act taking effect on July 1, 3000.
