COM. REP. NO. 1554-24
Honolulu, Hawaii

RE: H.R. No. 202
H.D. 1
Honorable Scott K. Saiki
Speaker, House of Representatives
Thirty-Second State Legislature
Regular Session of 2024
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committee on Legislative Management, to which was referred H.R. No. 202 entitled:
"HOUSE RESOLUTION REQUESTING THE LEGISLATIVE REFERENCE BUREAU TO CONDUCT A STUDY TO DETERMINE THE IMPLEMENTATION AND STANDARDS OF VARIOUS SEXUAL HEALTH EDUCATION POLICIES WITHIN THE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION,"
begs leave to report as follows:
Your Committee received testimony in support of this measure from the American Association of University Women of Hawai‘i and Planned Parenthood Alliance Advocates-Hawaiʻi. Your Committee received comments on this measure from the Legislative Reference Bureau.
Your Committee finds that only twenty percent of Hawaii middle schools and forty-eight percent of high schools provided all twenty-two Centers for Disease Control and Prevention critical sexual health education topics. This measure will ensure that Hawaii's students are provided with the knowledge and tools necessary to make responsible, informed, and empowered choices about their sexuality, gender, relationships, and sexual and reproductive health.
Your Committee has amended this measure by:
(1) Amending the contents of the study;
(2) Changing its title to make a technical amendment; and
(3) 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 Legislative Management that is attached to this report, your Committee concurs with the intent and purpose of H.R. No. 202, as amended herein, and recommends its adoption in the form attached hereto as H.R. No. 202, H.D. 1.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Legislative Management,
