RE: H.R. No. 100
Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say
Speaker, House of Representatives
Twenty-Fifth State Legislature
Regular Session of 2010
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committee on Public Safety, to which was referred H.R. No. 100 entitled:
"HOUSE RESOLUTION URGING THE PROVISION OF EDUCATION TO INCARCERATED PARENTS TO ENSURE CHILD SUPPORT ISSUES ARE ADDRESSED WITHOUT DELAY AND UPON RELEASE, TO PREPARE THEM FOR REINTEGRATION WITH THEIR CHILDREN AND FAMILIES, INCLUDING GRANDPARENTS WHO HAVE RAISED THEIR CHILDREN,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose of this resolution is urge the Department of Public Safety (PSD) make its existing program for preparing soon-to-be-released parents to deal with life issues mandatory and include information and training about how to:
(1) Renew contact with children, grandparents, and other family members caring for their children;
(2) Avoid conflict and prevent disruption of the lives of their children and the family members who have been caring for them; and
(3) Prepare themselves for resuming full responsibilities as a parent.
Hawaii Youth Services Network testified in support of this resolution. Community Alliance on Prisons and a concerned individual supported the intent of this measure. PSD opposed this resolution.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Public Safety that is attached to this report, your Committee concurs with the intent and purpose of H.R. No. 100 and recommends that it be referred to the Committee on Finance.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Public Safety,
