STAND. COM. REP. NO.  1223

Honolulu, Hawaii

                , 2017

RE:   H.C.R. No. 63

Honorable Joseph M. Souki

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-Ninth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2017

State of Hawaii

Sir:

     Your Committee on Human Services, to which was referred H.C.R. No. 63 entitled:

"HOUSE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION REQUESTING THE AUDITOR TO CONDUCT A SUNRISE REVIEW OF THE REGULATION AND LICENSURE OF GERONTOLOGISTS,"

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this measure is to request the Auditor to conduct a sunrise review of the licensure of gerontologists and to submit findings and recommendations to the Legislature prior to the Regular Session of 2018.

Your Committee notes that Section 26H-6, Hawaii Revised Statutes, requires certain regulatory measures to be referred to the Auditor for analysis if the regulatory measure being considered for enactment would subject unregulated professions and vocations to licensing upon enactment.

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Human Services that is attached to this report, your Committee concurs with the intent and purpose of H.C.R. No. 63 and recommends that it be referred to your Committee on Consumer Protection & Commerce.

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Human Services,
