RE: S.B. No. 390
S.D. 2
Honorable Donna Mercado Kim
President of the Senate
Twenty-Seventh State Legislature
Regular Session of 2013
State of Hawaii
Madam:
Your Committees on Ways and Means and Education, to which was referred S.B. No. 390, S.D. 1, entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO SOCIAL SERVICES,"
beg leave to report as follows:
The purpose and intent of this measure is to support non-school hour positive youth programs.
More specifically, this measure appropriates funds to the Department of Human Services to be transferred to the Department of Education, pursuant to a memorandum of agreement, for:
(1) Non-school hour positive youth programs for middle school youth;
(2) A Uniting Peer Learning Integrating New Knowledge (UPLINK) administrator; and
(3) Other UPLINK staffing needs.
Your Committees received written comments in support of this measure from the Department of Education; Department of Human Services, Office of Youth Services; Hawaii Youth Services Network; Hale Opio Kauai, Inc.; and two individuals.
Your Committees find that UPLINK is a non-school hour positive youth program for middle school students that provides opportunities for students to engage in physical activities and other activities, such as learning how to prepare healthy meals. The focus of the program is to provide services for youth for the immediate hours after school, when students may be tempted to engage in risky behaviors, thereby reducing the opportunities for youth to engage in negative or harmful activities. Accordingly, your Committees find that supporting UPLINK promotes the well-being of youth and is in the interest of the State.
Your Committees have amended this measure by:
(1) Changing the effective date to July 1, 2050, to facilitate further discussion on the measure; and
(2) Making technical nonsubstantive amendments for the purposes of clarity, consistency, and style.
As affirmed by the records of votes of the members of your Committees on Ways and Means and Education that are attached to this report, your Committees are in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 390, S.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommend that it pass Third Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 390, S.D. 2.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committees on Ways and Means and Education,
