RE: H.B. No. 2227
H.D. 1
Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say
Speaker, House of Representatives
Twenty-Sixth State Legislature
Regular Session of 2012
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committee on Health, to which was referred H.B. No. 2227 entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO BIRTH CERTIFICATES,"
begs leave to report as follows:
In discussion, your Committee noted the distinction made between "gender" and "sex" as they relate to health and judicial considerations. Your Committee believes that further dialogue is necessary to address legal, procedural, and other issues associated with implementing the provisions in the measure.
Upon consideration, your Committee has amended this measure by:
(1) Changing its effective date to July 1, 2050, to facilitate continued discussion; and
(2) Making technical, nonsubstantive amendments for the purposes of drafting conventions.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Health that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 2227, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 2227, H.D. 1, and be referred to the Committee on Finance.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Health,
|
