Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say
Speaker, House of Representatives
Twentieth State Legislature
Regular Session of 2000
State of Hawaii

Sir:

     Your Committee on Judiciary and Hawaiian Affairs, to which
was referred S.B. No. 2758, S.D. 1, entitled: 

     "A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO CHILD SUPPORT ENFORCEMENT,"

begs leave to report as follows:

     The purpose of this bill is to amend the child support
enforcement laws in order to comply with Title IV-D of the Social
Security Act.

     Testimony in support of this measure was received from the
State Attorney General.

     Your Committee finds that the proposed amendments will
improve customer service and efficiency at the Child Support
Enforcement Agency, and that the adoption of standard forms will
eliminate confusion.

     Your Committee has amended this measure by deleting the
reference to Section 576E-16, Hawaii Revised Statutes, at page 6,
line 21.

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your
Committee on Judiciary and Hawaiian Affairs that is attached to
this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and
purpose of S.B. No. 2758, S.D. 1, as amended herein, and
recommends that it pass Second Reading in the form attached

 
 
 
                                 STAND. COM. REP. NO. 968-00

hereto as S.B. No. 2758, S.D. 1, H.D. 1, and be referred to the
Committee on Finance.

                                   Respectfully submitted on
                                   behalf of the members of the

                                   Hawaiian Affairs,
