STAND. COM. REP. NO.253
Honolulu, Hawaii
, 2001
RE: H.B. No. 526
H.D. 1
Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say
Speaker, House of Representatives
Twenty-First State Legislature
Regular Session of 2001
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committee on Judiciary and Hawaiian Affairs, to which was referred H.B. No. 526 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 various child support enforcement provisions for clarification to comply with Section 466 of the Social Security Act; and to streamline the child support enforcement process.
The Department of the Attorney General provided testimony in favor of the measure.
In addition to making the child enforcement process more efficient, your Committee finds that this measure would maintain eligibility for federal welfare funds and federal funding of child support enforcement programs.
Your Committee has amended this bill by:
(1) Deleting section 7 of the bill relating to the establishment of paternity because there is a concern that it does not conform with the title of the bill; and
(2) Making technical, nonsubstantive changes for the purposes of style and clarity.
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 H.B. No. 526, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 526, H.D. 1, and be placed on the calendar for Third Reading.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Judiciary and Hawaiian Affairs,
|
