STAND. COM. REP. NO. 3109

 

Honolulu, Hawaii

                  

 

RE:    S.C.R. No. 102

 

 

 

Honorable Shan S. Tsutsui

President of the Senate

Twenty-Sixth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2012

State of Hawaii

 

Sir:

 

     Your Committees on Human Services and Public Safety, Government Operations, and Military Affairs, to which was referred S.C.R. No. 102 entitled:

 

"SENATE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION REQUESTING THE ATTORNEY GENERAL TO ESTABLISH A TASK FORCE TO STUDY THE FEASIBILITY OF THE COUNTIES ADOPTING RULES THAT REGULATE CLEAN AND SOBER HOUSING AND COMPLY WITH FEDERAL AND STATE LAWS,"

 

beg leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose and intent of this measure is to request the Attorney General to establish a task force to determine the feasibility of the counties adopting rules to govern clean and sober housing that comply with federal and state laws.

 

     Your Committees received testimony in support of this measure from one individual.

 

     Your Committees find that clean and sober housing offers the help and support individuals need to make positive life choices to solidify long-term recovery from drug and alcohol abuse.  Your Committees also find that despite support for clean and sober houses, a few poorly managed clean and sober houses create negative public relations with neighborhoods and communities for other clean and sober houses.  This measure requests the Attorney General to establish a task force made up of various representatives from the relevant executive agencies, social services community, and stakeholders to determine the feasibility of adopting rules that govern clean and sober housing that comply with federal and state laws.

 

     As affirmed by the records of votes of the members of your Committees on Human Services and Public Safety, Government Operations, and Military Affairs that are attached to this report, your Committees concur with the intent and purpose of S.C.R. No. 102 and recommend that it be referred to the Committee on Judiciary and Labor.

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committees on Human Services and Public Safety, Government Operations, and Military Affairs,
