RE:   H.B. No. 2441

      H.D. 2

 

 

 

 

Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-Sixth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2012

State of Hawaii

 

Sir:

 

     Your Committee on Judiciary, to which was referred H.B. No. 2441, H.D. 1, entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO CHILD SUPPORT ENFORCEMENT,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose of this measure is to bring the Hawaii Child Support Enforcement Agency into compliance with federal law by specifying that:

 

(1)  Information for a newly-hired employee that an employer is required to report to the Hawaii Child Support Enforcement Agency includes the date services for remuneration were first performed by the employee; and

 

(2)  An employer or union receiving notice of medical support has 20 business days from the date of the notice to transfer the notice to the appropriate plan providing health care coverage for an eligible child, and such an employer is required to notify the Hawaii Child Support Enforcement Agency when employment is terminated.

 

     The Department of the Attorney General testified in support of this measure.

 

     Your Committee has amended this bill by 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. 2441, H.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Third Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 2441, H.D. 2.

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Judiciary,
