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

Sir:

     Your Committee on Finance, 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 bill is to continue funding for the
vital statistics system and activities to prevent domestic
violence and sexual assault by repealing the sunset date of Act
216, Session Laws of Hawaii 1997, which among other things,
established the Domestic Violence Prevention Special Fund and the
Vital Statistics Improvement Special Fund.

     The Hawaii State Commission on the Status of Women, the Sex
Abuse Treatment Center, the Violence Prevention Consortium, the
Injury Prevention Advisory Committee, the Keiki Injury Prevention
Coalition, and an individual testified in support of this
measure.  The Department of Health commented on this measure.

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your
Committee on Finance 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 Third Reading.
