STAND. COM. REP. NO. 2016

 

Honolulu, Hawaii

                  

 

RE:    S.B. No. 2032

       S.D. 1

 

 

 

Honorable Colleen Hanabusa

President of the Senate

Twenty-Fifth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2010

State of Hawaii

 

Madam:

 

     Your Committee on Human Services, to which was referred S.B. No. 2032 entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITY POVERTY REDUCTION TASK FORCE,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose of this measure is to establish a joint legislative Economic Opportunity Poverty Reduction Task Force to advance economic opportunity and to reduce the number of Hawaii residents living in poverty by at least fifty per cent by the year 2020.

 

     Testimony in support of this measure was submitted by the Hawai‘i Alliance for Community-Based Economic Development and the National Association of Social Workers, Hawaii Chapter.  Written testimony presented to the Committee may be reviewed on the Legislature's website.

 

     Your Committee finds that the Economic Opportunity Poverty Reduction Task Force is essentially a continuation of the 2009 Asset Building Task Force created by the Legislature, and the new Task Force should build on the work and recommendations of the former Task Force.

 

     Your Committee has amended this measure by making technical, nonsubstantive stylistic changes.

 

     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 S.B. No. 2032, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 2032, S.D. 1, and be referred to the Committee on Ways and Means.

 

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