Sir:

     Your Committee on Finance, to which was referred S.B. No.
2758, S.D. 1, H.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 Hawaii's child support
enforcement laws to comply with Title IV-D of the Social Security
Act by:

     (1)  Requiring the use of a standard format for withholding
          orders;

     (2)  Allowing the Child Support Enforcement Agency to notify
          an employer to terminate an order for income
          withholding; and

     (3)  Eliminating the requirement that orders for income
          withholding be served on employers by certified or
          registered mail, and substitutes regular mail as an
          option for service in addition to personal delivery or
          transmission through electronic means.

     The Department of the Attorney General testified in support
of this bill.
