Honolulu, Hawaii

                , 2012

 

RE:   S.B. No. 2568

      H.D. 2

 

 

 

 

Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-Sixth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2012

State of Hawaii

 

Sir:

 

     Your Committee on Finance, to which was referred S.B. No. 2568, H.D. 1, entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO THE HOMELESS,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose of this measure is to establish and appropriate funds for the Return-to-Home Program, which is a voluntary homeless assistance program to assist eligible homeless individuals in returning to their home state if there is a support network available and able to receive them.

 

     A few individuals supported this measure.

 

     Your Committee has amended this measure by:

 

     (1)  Permitting rather than requiring the Department of Human Services to establish the Return-to-Home Program; and

 

     (2)  Making technical, nonsubstantive amendments for the purposes of clarity, consistency, and style.

 

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Finance that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 2568, H.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Third Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 2568, H.D. 2.

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Finance,
