     WHEREAS, the Office of Youth Services provides programs and services for at-risk youth in the State to prevent delinquency and reduce recidivism; and

     WHEREAS, a funding mechanism that allows the Office of Youth Services to generate income and use such income to expand vocational programs that create opportunities for at-risk youth more robust to further reduce recidivism and prevent delinquency; and

 

     WHEREAS, the Office of Youth Services works closely with the Department of Public Safety, which supports vocational programs with income generated by the Department; now, therefore,

 

     BE IT RESOLVED by the Senate of the Thirty-first Legislature of the State of Hawaii, Regular Session of 2022, the House of Representatives concurring, that the Office of Youth Services, Department of Public Safety, and Department of Budget and Finance are requested to convene a task force to recommend how to create an efficient funding mechanism to allow the Office of Youth Services to generate income to support its vocational programs; and
