Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-First State Legislature

Regular Session of 2001

State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committee on Finance, to which was referred S.B. No. 535, S.D. 2, H.D. 1, entitled:

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this bill is to clarify that after-school and weekend community-school activities for children are "child-care" programs and not "day care" or "educational" programs.

The Department of Education testified in strong support of this measure, explaining that this clarification is necessary to ensure that these activities are not considered an extension of the school day.

As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Finance that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 535, S.D. 2, H.D. 1, and recommends that it pass Third Reading.
