RE:   H.B. No. 2255

 

 

 

 

Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-Fifth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2010

State of Hawaii

 

Sir:

 

     Your Committee on Human Services, to which was referred H.B. No. 2255 entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO CRIMINAL HISTORY RECORD CHECKS,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose of this bill is to eliminate burdensome and duplicative requirements for providers of home and community-based services by:

 

     (1)  Reducing the number of required fingerprint-based              criminal history record checks from two to one; and

 

     (2)  Specifying that subsequent criminal history record             inquiries be named-based.

 

     The Hawaii Waiver Providers Association, Goodwill Industries of Hawaii, Inc., The Arc in Hawaii, The Arc of Kona, Catholic Charities Hawaii, The Institute for Family Enrichment, Full Life, and Easter Seals Hawaii testified in support of this bill.  The Department of Human Services testified in opposition to this bill.

 

     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. 2255 and recommends that it pass Second Reading and be referred to the Committee on Judiciary.

 

 

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