                                   RE:  S.C.R. No. 119
                                        S.D. 1




Honorable Norman Mizuguchi
President of the Senate
Twentieth State Legislature
Regular Session of 1999
State of Hawaii

Sir:

     Your Committees on Education and Technology and Health and
Human Services, to which was referred S.C.R. No. 119 entitled:

     "SENATE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION REQUESTING THE DEPARTMENT OF
     EDUCATION AND THE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH TO DEVELOP A PLAN TO
     PROVIDE ALL HAWAII PUBLIC SCHOOL CHILDREN WITH THE
     OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE A NUTRITIOUS BREAKFAST,"

beg leave to report as follows:

     The purpose of this measure is to request that the
Department of Education and the Department of Health develop a
plan to provide all Hawaii public school children with the
opportunity to have a nutritious breakfast.

     Testimony in support of this measure was submitted by the
Department of Education, the Office of the Governor, and the Good
Beginnings Alliance.  The Department of Health verbally amended
its written testimony of opposition to one of support for this
measure.

     Your Committees find that the Departments of Education,
Health, and Human Services, along with the University of Hawaii
Center on the Family, the Good Beginnings Alliance, and the
Office of the Governor have already formed a performance
partnership on nutrition.  This partnership is committed to
improve nutrition outcomes for children, and to keep them safe,
healthy, and ready to succeed in school.

     Because work relating to this measure has already begun,
your Committees have amended this measure to:

     (1)  Reflect the current status of the performance
          partnership in providing nutritious breakfasts to all
          of Hawaii's children;

     (2)  Include the Department of Human Services, the
          University of Hawaii's Center on the Family, the Office
          of the Governor, and the Good Beginnings Alliance as
          collaborators in this effort; and

     (3)  Require that the status of implementing this measure be
          reported back to the Legislature before the next
          legislative session.

     As affirmed by the records of votes of the members of your
Committees on Education and Technology and Health and Human
Services that are attached to this report, your Committees concur
with the intent and purpose of S.C.R. No. 119, as amended herein,
and recommend that it be referred to the Committee on Ways and
Means, in the form attached hereto as S.C.R. No. 119, S.D. 1.

                                   Respectfully submitted on
                                   behalf of the members of the
                                   Committees on Education and
                                   Technology and Health and
                                   Human Services,
