Your Committee on Finance, to which was referred S.B. No. 50, S.D. 2, entitled:

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO HUMAN SERVICES,"

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this measure is to appropriate funds to the University of Hawaii for each year of Fiscal Biennium 2019-2021 for the Hawaii Nutrition Employment and Training Program, including materials, supplies, and the hiring of eight full-time equivalent administrative, professional, and technical positions.

A few individuals testified in support of this measure. The Department of Human Services, University of Hawai‘i System, and an individual provided comments on this measure.

Your Committee has amended this measure by:

(1) Appropriating $455,000 for each year of Fiscal Biennium 2019-2021 for the Hawaii Nutrition Employment and Training Program;

(3) Changing its effective date to July 1, 2019; and

(4) Making technical, nonsubstantive amendments for clarity, consistency, and style.

As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Finance that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 50, S.D. 2, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Third Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 50, S.D. 2, H.D. 1.
