RE: H.B. No. 526
H.D. 1
S.D. 1
C.D. 1
Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say
Speaker, House of Representatives
Twenty-First State Legislature
Regular Session of 2001
State of Hawaii
Honorable Robert Bunda
President of the Senate
Twenty-First State Legislature
Regular Session of 2001
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committee on Conference on the disagreeing vote of the House of Representatives to the amendments proposed by the Senate in H.B. No. 526, H.D. 1, S.D. 1, entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO CHILD SUPPORT ENFORCEMENT,"
having met, and after full and free discussion, has agreed to recommend and does recommend to the respective Houses the final passage of this bill in an amended form.
The purpose of the bill is to:
(1) Amend various child support enforcement provisions for clarification to comply with Section 466 of the Social Security Act;
(2) Streamline the child support enforcement process; and
(3) Allow use of video or audio descriptions to explain the issues involved in acknowledging paternity.
Your Committee on Conference finds that specific provisions requiring social security numbers on application forms under Sections 183D-22 and 188-3.5, Hawaii Revised Statutes (HRS), are unnecessary in light of the fact that a general provision for all license applications will require social security numbers under Section 576D-13, HRS.
Your Committee on Conference has amended this bill by:
(1) Deleting provisions referring to Sections 183D-22 and Section 188-50, HRS;
(2) Making the effective date upon its approval;
(3) Limiting the interception for child support of lump sum payments from local or state government agencies, judgments, settlements, and lotteries to the extent authorized by the federal Social Security Act; and
(4) Making a technical, nonsubstantive amendment to reflect accepted drafting style.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the managers of your Committee on Conference that is attached to this report, your Committee on Conference is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 526, H.D. 1, S.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Final Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 526, H.D. 1, S.D. 1, C.D. 1.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the managers:
