Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-Sixth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2012

State of Hawaii

 

Sir:

 

     Your Committee on Human Services, to which was referred H.B. No. 1905, H.D. 1, entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO HUMAN SERVICES,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose of this measure, as received by your Committee, is to appropriate an unspecified amount of money to the Department of Human Services for programs relating to child abuse and neglect.

 

     For the purposes of a public hearing on this bill, your Committee circulated a proposed draft, Proposed H.B. No. 1905, H.D. 2, and notified the public that it would be accepting testimony on the proposed draft, which allows the Department of Human Services to draw from other funds appropriated to the Department of Human Services in the event the General Assistance appropriation is insufficient to meet General Assistance benefits payments.

 

     Your Committee received testimony from the Department of Human Services in support of Proposed H.B. No. 1905, H.D. 2.

 

     Your Committee has amended this measure by:

 

     (1)  Replacing its contents with provisions that allow the Department of Human Services to draw from other funds appropriated to the Department of Human Services in the event the General Assistance appropriation is insufficient to meet General Assistance benefits payments; and

 

     (2)  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. 1905, H.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 1905, H.D. 2, and be referred to the Committee on Finance.

 

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