STAND. COM. REP. NO.818
Honolulu, Hawaii
, 2003
RE: S.B. No. 1357
S.D. 1
Honorable Robert Bunda
President of the Senate
Twenty-Second State Legislature
Regular Session of 2003
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committee on Ways and Means, to which was referred S.B. No. 1357, S.D. 1, entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO VITAL STATISTICS REGISTRATION DISTRICTS,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose of this measure is to repeal the public health statistics registration districts.
Specifically, this measure converts the registration of vital events such as birth, death, and marriage occurring within the State from a decentralized, intermediated process to a centralized, direct process. Current registration involves a paper process with filings made in the county statistics registration district office. The neighbor island offices then forward the paperwork to Honolulu. Your Committee finds that the Department of Health is converting to an electronic process with direct filings to a centralized site, thereby eliminating the necessity for registration districts.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Ways and Means that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 1357, S.D. 1, and recommends that it pass Third Reading.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Ways and Means,
____________________________ BRIAN T. TANIGUCHI, Chair |
