RE:   H.B. No. 1095

      H.D. 1

 

 

 

 

Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-Fifth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2009

State of Hawaii

 

Sir:

 

     Your Committee on Human Services, to which was referred H.B. No. 1095 entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO NOTICE OF GUARDIANSHIP PROCEEDINGS,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose of this bill is to provide that notice to parents shall not be required if the parents have been served in a proceeding under the Child Protective Act and a permanent plan has been ordered by the court.

 

     The Department of Human Services (DHS) testified in support of this measure.  The Judiciary testified in opposition to this bill.

 

     Your Committee notes that should the Committee on Judiciary hear this measure, DHS and the Family Courts have agreed to work together on crafting appropriate language for a proposed draft.

 

     Accordingly, your Committee has amended this bill by changing the effective date to January 1, 2050, to encourage further discussion.

 

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Human Services that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 1095, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 1095, H.D. 1, and be referred to the Committee on Judiciary.

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Human Services,
