RE: H.R. No. 40

 

 

Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-First State Legislature

Regular Session of 2001

State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committees on Education and Health, to which was referred H.R. No. 40 entitled:

"HOUSE RESOLUTION REQUESTING ESTABLISHMENT OF A TASK FORCE TO ASSESS AND DETERMINE WAYS TO REDUCE THE PAPERWORK AND DUPLICATIVE PROCESS REQUIREMENTS RELATED TO EXCEPTIONAL CHILDREN AND FELIX CLASS CHILDREN AND ADOLESCENTS,"

beg leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this measure is to establish a task force to assess and determine ways to reduce the paperwork and duplicative process requirements related to exceptional children and Felix class children.

The Departments of Health and Education opposed this measure.

Your Committees find that although efforts have been made, there must be further ways of reducing paperwork related to exceptional children and Felix class children.

As affirmed by the records of votes of the members of your Committees on Education and Health that are attached to this report, your Committees concur with the intent and purpose of H.R. No. 40 and recommend that it be referred to the Committee on Finance.

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committees on Education and Health,
