RE: H.B. No. 937
H.D. 2
Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say
Speaker, House of Representatives
Twenty-Third State Legislature
Regular Session of 2006
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committee on Judiciary, to which was referred H.B. No. 937, H.D. 1, entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO HUMAN SERVICES,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose of this bill is to enhance the delivery of juvenile justice services by establishing the Commission on Juvenile Justice (Commission) within the Department of Human Services to have oversight of the Hawaii Youth Correctional Facility (HYCF) and Office of Youth Services (OYS).
The Department of the Attorney General and OYS offered comments.
Your Committee has amended this bill by:
(1) Changing the effective date of the Act, except for section 4, to July 1, 2007, since the amendments related to placing HYCF and its administrator under the supervision of the Commission should follow the establishment and creation of the Commission on July 1, 2007;
(2) Changing the effective date of section 4 of the Act, which appropriates funds to create the Commission, to July 1, 2006; and
(3) Making technical, nonsubstantive amendments for clarity, consistency, and style.
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. 937, H.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it be referred to the Committee on Finance in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 937, H.D. 2.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Judiciary,
