Honorable Robert Bunda

President of the Senate

Twenty-Third State Legislature

Regular Session of 2006

State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committee on Judiciary and Hawaiian Affairs, to which was referred H.B. No. 2287, H.D. 1, entitled:

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this measure is to allow the Child Support Enforcement Agency to suspend the license of an individual who has become delinquent in making payments after entering into an agreement once notice was sent informing the individual of the license suspension process, rather than having to reinitiate the entire license suspension process from the beginning.

Your Committee received testimony in support of this measure from the Department of the Attorney General.

Your Committee finds that the current law requires the Child Support Enforcement Agency to reinitiate the license suspension process from the beginning when an individual becomes delinquent after entering into an agreement to make payments. This measure will streamline the license suspension process and will make the child enforcement process more efficient.

As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Judiciary and Hawaiian Affairs that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 2287, H.D. 1, and recommends that it pass Third Reading.
