     The purpose of this Act is to require the department of human services to examine the efficiencies and effectiveness, including program outcomes, of its existing supporting employment empowerment Hawaii work program.

     SECTION 2.  (a)  The department of human services shall convene a study group to examine the efficiencies and effectiveness, including program outcomes, of its supporting employment empowerment Hawaii work program.

     (b)  The department of human services shall submit a report of its findings and recommendations, including any proposed legislation, to the legislature no later than twenty days prior to the convening of the regular session of 2021.

     SECTION 3.  This Act shall take effect on December 31, 2059.
