Honorable Scott K. Saiki

Speaker, House of Representatives

Thirty-First State Legislature

Regular Session of 2022

State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committee on Judiciary & Hawaiian Affairs, to which was referred S.C.R. No. 133, S.D. 1, entitled:

"SENATE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION URGING THE STATE COMMISSION ON THE STATUS OF WOMEN TO ESTABLISH A TASK FORCE TO DEVELOP AND IMPLEMENT AN OUTREACH PROGRAM AIMED AT INFORMING DOMESTIC VIOLENCE VICTIMS OF AVAILABLE SOURCES OF ASSISTANCE,"

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this measure is to urge the State Commission on the Status of Women to establish a task force to develop and implement an outreach program aimed at informing domestic violence victims of available sources of assistance.

Your Committee received testimony in support of this measure from the State Commission on the Status of Women, Domestic Violence Action Center, Hawai‘i Friends of Civil Rights, Hawai‘i State Coalition Against Domestic Violence, and four individuals.

Your Committee has amended this measure by deleting its contents and inserting the contents of H.C.R. 122, H.D. 1, a substantially similar measure that urges the State Commission on the Status of Women to work with the Domestic Violence Action Center, the Filipino Chamber of Commerce of Hawaii, and other Chambers of Commerce in Hawai‘i to develop and implement a domestic violence victim outreach program.

As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Judiciary & Hawaiian Affairs that is attached to this report, your Committee concurs with the intent and purpose of S.C.R. No. 133, S.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends its adoption in the form attached hereto as S.C.R. No. 133, S.D. 1, H.D. 1.

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Judiciary & Hawaiian Affairs,
