STAND. COM. REP. NO.3132
Honolulu, Hawaii
, 2002
RE: H.B. No. 2433
H.D. 1
S.D. 1
Honorable Robert Bunda
President of the Senate
Twenty-First State Legislature
Regular Session of 2002
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committee on Judiciary, to which was referred H.B. No. 2433, H.D. 1, S.D. 1, entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO CHILD SUPPORT ENFORCEMENT,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose of this measure is to enable the Child Support Enforcement Agency (CSEA) to notify employers of the amount of child support automatically withheld from an employee's paycheck by way of notice, as opposed to requiring a certified court order being served on the affected employer.
This measure allows the CSEA to levy fines against individuals and entities not responding to its requests for information, and clarifies that spousal support can only be enforced when child support is being enforced and that all child support records are confidential.
Your Committee finds that this measure complies with federal statutory requirements and streamlines the child support enforcement process.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Judiciary that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 2433, H.D. 1, S.D. 1, and recommends that it pass Third Reading.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Judiciary,
____________________________ BRIAN KANNO, Chair |
