H.D. 1
Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say
Speaker, House of Representatives
Twenty-Sixth State Legislature
Regular Session of 2011
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committee on Human Services, to which was referred H.B. No. 574 entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO UNEMPLOYMENT INSURANCE,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose of this bill is to assist victims of domestic violence by establishing fear of domestic or sexual violence as a good cause for not accepting otherwise suitable, available work for the purpose of collecting unemployment compensation.
The Department of Labor and Industrial Relations provided comments.
Your Committee has amended this bill by:
(1) Inserting language that invalidates any portion of the bill that may violate federal regulations;
(2) Changing the effective date to July 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. 574, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 574, H.D. 1, and be referred to the Committee on Labor & Public Employment.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Human Services,
