COM. REP. NO. 1746
Honolulu, Hawaii
, 2021
RE: S.C.R. No. 73
Honorable Scott K. Saiki
Speaker, House of Representatives
Thirty-First State Legislature
Regular Session of 2021
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committee on Corrections, Military, & Veterans, to which was referred S.C.R. No. 73 entitled:
"SENATE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION URGING THE STATE OF HAWAII DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE TO CONTINUE TO OPERATE THE HAWAII NATIONAL GUARD YOUTH CHALLENGE ACADEMY HILO CAMPUS,"
begs leave to report as follows:
Your Committee received testimony in support of this measure from one individual.
Your Committee finds that the Hawaii National Guard Youth Challenge Academy's goal is to provide the State with a premier progressive alternative school for "at-promise" youth that focuses on lessons in character, education, moral values, life-coping skills, and responsible citizenship. Your Committee further finds that the Academy's Hilo campus has been successful in dissuading at-risk youth from causing harm to others and themselves and is especially important because of the limited resources available to at-risk youth from east Hawaii island. Due to the important role the Hilo campus plays for Hawaii's youth, this measure urges the Hawaii Department of Defense to continue operating the program at the Hilo campus.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Corrections, Military, & Veterans that is attached to this report, your Committee concurs with the intent and purpose of S.C.R. No. 73 and recommends that it be referred to your Committee on Finance.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Corrections, Military, & Veterans,
