                   A  BILL  FOR  AN  ACT

MAKING AN APPROPRIATION FOR WORK PROGRAM SERVICES FOR TWO-PARENT
   FAMILIES RECEIVING AFDC-S.



BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF HAWAII:

 1      SECTION 1.  The legislature finds that current funds
 
 2 available to the department of human services are inadequate to
 
 3 provide sufficient work program services for two-parent families
 
 4 receiving Aid to Families with Dependant Children funded by the
 
 5 State, also known as Temporary Assistance to Other Needy
 
 6 Families.  These families need work program services to become
 
 7 self-sufficient, especially in light of the five-year time limit
 
 8 on their receipt of cash assistance.  Many families will have
 
 9 exhausted their five years of assistance on December 1, 2001.
 
10      The purpose of this Act is to provide adequate funds for the
 
11 provision of work program services for two-parent families
 
12 receiving Aid to Families with Dependant Children funded by the
 
13 State or Temporary Assistance to Other Needy Families.
 
14      SECTION 2.  There is appropriated out of the general
 
15 revenues of the State of Hawaii the sum of $1,500,000, or so much
 
16 thereof as may be necessary for fiscal year 2000-2001, for work
 
17 program services for two-parent families receiving Aid to
 
18 Families with Dependant Children funded by the State or Temporary
 
19 Assistance to Other Needy Families.
