COM. REP. NO. 313
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 Consumer Protection & Commerce, to which was referred H.B. No. 1322, H.D. 1, entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO TRAUMA-INFORMED CARE,"
begs leave to report as follows:
Your Committee received testimony in support of this measure from the Department of Health, Department of Human Services, Office of Hawaiian Affairs, Executive Office on Early Learning, Hawaii Primary Care Association, Hawaii Substance Abuse Coalition, Hawai‘i Pacific Health, Hawaii Youth Services Network, Hawai‘i Community Foundation, Hawaii Children's Action Network Speaks!, Kamehameha Schools, Early Childhood Action Strategy, and four individuals.
Your Committee finds
that adverse childhood experiences early in life can negatively impact the
development of children, leading to future challenges with learning, health,
and behavior. 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.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Consumer Protection & Commerce that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 1322, H.D. 1, and recommends that it be referred to your Committee on Finance.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Consumer Protection & Commerce,
