Sir:

Your Committee on Human Services, to which was referred H.B. No. 2286 entitled:

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this measure is to include programs approved by Title IV-E of the Social Security Act among those for which the Child Support Enforcement Agency may disclose information it maintains to persons who are directly involved with the implementation and administration of approved programs.

Your Committee received testimony in support of the measure from the Attorney General and the Department of Human Services.

Your Committee finds that this measure allows the Child Support Enforcement Agency to disclose information to the Department of Human Services that is consistent with information being provided for other types of child welfare programs.

As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Human Services that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 2286, and recommends that it pass Second Reading and be referred to the Committee on Judiciary and Hawaiian Affairs.
