COM. REP. NO. 142
Honolulu, Hawaii
, 2021
RE: H.B. No. 1322
H.D. 1
Honorable Scott K. Saiki
Speaker, House of Representatives
Thirty-First State Legislature
Regular Session of 2021
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committee on Health, Human Services, & Homelessness, to which was referred H.B. No. 1322 entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO TRAUMA-INFORMED CARE,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The
purpose of this measure is to
establish a task force within the Department of Health to develop and make
recommendations for trauma-informed care in the State.
Your Committee finds
that early adverse childhood experiences can negatively impact the development
in children, leading to future learning, health, and behavioral problems. Your Committee further finds that providing
children with positive relationships with stable non-relative adults can help mitigate
the harmful effects of early adverse childhood experiences.
Your
Committee has amended this measure by:
(1) Amending the membership of the task force;
(2) Requiring the task force develop an
implementation and sustainability plan;
(3) Changing the effective date to July 1, 2060,
to encourage further discussion; and
(4) Making technical, nonsubstantive amendments for
the purposes of clarity, consistency, and style.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Health, Human Services, & Homelessness that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 1322, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 1322, H.D. 1, and be referred to your Committee on Consumer Protection & Commerce.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Health, Human Services, & Homelessness,
