Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say
Speaker, House of Representatives
Twentieth State Legislature
Regular Session of 1999
State of Hawaii

Sir:

     Your Committee on Health, to which was referred H.B. No.
1146 entitled: 

     "A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO VITAL RECORD FEES,"

begs leave to report as follows:

     The purpose of this measure is to continue the funding
improvements of the vital statistics system and prevention of
domestic violence and sexual assault by repealing the sunset
provision in section 13, Act 216, Session Laws of Hawaii 1997.  

     The Department of Health, the Hawaii State Commission on the
Status of Women, and the Violence Prevention Consortium testified
in support of the proposal. 

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your
Committee on Health that is attached to this report, your
Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No.
1146 and recommends that it pass Second Reading and be referred
to the Committee on Finance.

                                   Respectfully submitted on
                                   behalf of the members of the
                                   Committee on Health,



                                   ______________________________
                                   ALEXANDER C. SANTIAGO, Chair
