Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say

Speaker, House of Representatives

Regular Session of 2001

State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committee on Judiciary and Hawaiian Affairs, to which was referred H.B. No. 527 entitled:

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO INTERSTATE FAMILY SUPPORT,"

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this bill is to amend Hawaii's Uniform Interstate Family Support Act by:

(1) Clarifying that the proper forum for contesting the registration of an out-of-state order of support is before a tribunal of the registering state; and

(2) Amending the notice requirements for proceedings to contest the validity or enforcement of a registered child support order.

Supportive testimony was submitted by the state Attorney General.

Your Committee has amended this bill by making stylistic and technical changes that do not affect the substance of the bill.

 

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. 527, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 527, 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,
