[§6E-1]  Declaration of intent.  The
Constitution of the State of Hawaii recognizes the value of conserving and

developments of contemporary society threaten to destroy the remaining vestiges
of this heritage.  The legislature further declares that it is in the public
interest to engage in a comprehensive program of historic preservation at all
levels of government to promote the use and conservation of such property for
the education, inspiration, pleasure, and enrichment of its citizens.  The
legislature further declares that it shall be the public policy of this State
to provide leadership in preserving, restoring, and maintaining historic and
cultural property, to ensure the administration of such historic and cultural
property in a spirit of stewardship and trusteeship for future generations, and
to conduct activities, plans, and programs in a manner consistent with the
preservation and enhancement of historic and cultural property. [L 1976, c 104,
