                                 RE: H.B. No. 1575
                                     H.D. 1




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

Sir:

     Your Committee on Human Services and Housing, to which was
referred H.B. No. 1575 entitled: 

     "A BILL FOR AN ACT MAKING AN APPROPRIATION FOR THE MILLENIUM
     YOUNG PEOPLE'S CONGRESS,"

begs leave to report as follows:

     The purpose of this bill is to ensure the safety and comfort
of the delegates of the Millennium Young People's Congress
(Congress) by making an appropriation to fund home stays with
host families and for planning, coordination, transportation, and
family support stipends.

     The Hawaii Community Services Council, an advisory committee
member of the Congress, and many individuals submitted testimony
in support of this measure.

     In October 1999, 1,000 young people, from 189 countries and
territories, will be in Hawaii for a five-day Congress to discuss
and present their priorities for the next millennium.  Your
Committee finds that the appropriation to assist host families
will help make the Congress a success.

     Your Committee has amended this measure by:

     (1)  Appropriating the funds to the Office of Youth Services
          instead of the Department of Business, Economic
          Development, and Tourism; and


 
 
                                 STAND. COM. REP. NO. 255
                                 Page 2

 
     (2)  Making technical, nonsubstantive amendments for
          purposes of clarity and style.

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your
Committee on Human Services and Housing that is attached to this
report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose
of H.B. No. 1575, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass
Second Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 1575, H.D.
1, and be referred to the Committee on Finance.

                                   Respectfully submitted on
                                   behalf of the members of the
                                   Committee on Human Services
                                   and Housing,



                                   ______________________________
                                   DENNIS A. ARAKAKI, Chair
