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

Sir:

     Your Committee on Health and Human Services, to which was
referred S.B. No. 1028 entitled: 

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

begs leave to report as follows:

     The purpose of this measure is to make permanent the
statutory enactments of Act 216, Session Laws of Hawaii 1997.

     Your Committee received testimony in support of this measure
from the Department of Health (DOH), Hawaii State Commission on
the Status of Women, Violence Prevention Consortium, Sex Abuse
Treatment Center, Women's Legislative Coalition, and a private
citizen.

     This is an administration measure that provides continued
funding for the improvement of the vital statistics system and
prevention of domestic violence and sexual assault.  

     Your Committee has amended this measure by making technical,
nonsubstantive amendments for purposes of clarity and style.

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your
Committee on Health and Human Services that is attached to this
report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose
of S.B. No. 1028, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass
Second Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 1028,
S.D. 1, and be referred to the Committee on Ways and Means.
