RE:   H.B. No. 2193

      H.D. 1

 

 

 

 

Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-Sixth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2012

State of Hawaii

 

Sir:

 

     Your Committee on Judiciary, to which was referred H.B. No. 2193 entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO ADULT GUARDIANSHIP AND PROTECTIVE PROCEEDINGS JURISDICTION,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose of this measure is to enact the Uniform Adult Guardianship and Protective Proceedings Jurisdiction Act, which contains guidelines to permit a determination as to which state has jurisdiction in adult guardianship matters.

 

     Specifically, this measure would facilitate determination of jurisdiction when multiple states might be involved with a guardianship or conservatorship of an incapacitated or protected person.  Your Committee finds that this measure will ensure that only one state has jurisdiction over adult guardianship matters at any one time.

 

The Commission to Promote Uniform Legislation supported this measure.  The Judiciary offered comments on the measure.

 

     Your Committee has amended this measure by changing the effective date to January 7, 2059, to facilitate additional discussion.

 

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Judiciary that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 2193, as amended herein, and recommends that it be referred to the Committee on Finance in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 2193, H.D. 1.

 

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Judiciary,
