Regular Session of 2009
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committee on Human Services, to which was referred H.B. No. 155 entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO INFANT AND TODDLER CHILD CARE CENTERS,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose of this bill is to:
(1) Require the Department of Human Services (DHS) to adopt rules implementing a standardized grievance procedure for infant and toddler child care centers that accommodate both clients and employees; and
(2) Require DHS to make the standardized procedures public.
A concerned individual testified in support of this bill. DHS provided comments.
Upon consideration, your Committee has amended this bill by:
(1) Making adoption of standardized procedures discretionary;
(2) Changing the effective date to January 1, 2050, to encourage further discussion; and
(3) Making technical, nonsubstantive amendments for clarity, consistency, and style.
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. 155, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 155, H.D. 1, and be referred to the Committee on Judiciary.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Human Services,
