STAND. COM. REP. NO. 1167
Honolulu, Hawaii
, 2017
RE: S.B. No. 185
S.D. 2
H.D. 1
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 S.B. No. 185, S.D. 2, entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO CHILD CARE PROVIDERS,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose of this measure is to require child care providers licensed or registered by the Department of Human Services to obtain and maintain liability insurance coverage beginning January 1, 2019.
Your Committee has amended this measure by changing the effective date to July 1, 2070, to facilitate further discussion.
Your Committee notes that requiring all licensed or registered child care providers to obtain and maintain liability insurance coverage may provide financial security to families who require child care services but may also have unintended consequence of increased costs to providers to maintain liability insurance coverage.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Human Services that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 185, S.D. 2, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 185, S.D. 2, H.D. 1, and be referred to your Committee on Consumer Protection & Commerce.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Human Services,
