STAND. COM. REP. NO.  806-10

 

Honolulu, Hawaii

                , 2010

 

RE:   H.R. No. 149

 

 

 

 

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.R. No. 149 entitled:

 

"HOUSE RESOLUTION REQUESTING THE HOUSE COMMITTEE ON HUMAN SERVICES TO CONVENE A WORKING GROUP TO FURTHER STUDY RECOMMENDATIONS MADE BY THE SR 10 WORKING GROUP COMMITTEES,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose of this resolution is to convene a working group to further study the recommendations made by the SR 10 Working Group committees.

 

     The National Association of Social Workers, Hawaii Chapter (NASW) and a concerned individual submitted testimony in support of this measure.

 

     Your Committee notes that the SCR 52 Task Force explored the possibilities of making the Hawaii Family Court more efficient, accessible, and family-oriented.  However, even after the Task Force's recommendations, many issues remained unresolved.

 

     Therefore, due to these unresolved issues, your Committee urges that a working group continues forward to study issues, report, collaborate, and propose legislation regarding the Hawaii Family Court system.  This new working group will be referred to as the Family Court Legal Interventions Working Group.

 

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Human Services that is attached to this report, your Committee concurs with the intent and purpose of H.R. No. 149 and recommends that it be referred to the Committee on Judiciary.

 

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