Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say
Speaker, House of Representatives
Twentieth State Legislature
Regular Session of 1999
State of Hawaii

Sir:

     Your Committee on Human Services and Housing, to which was
referred S.C.R. No. 4, S.D. 1, entitled:

     "SENATE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION OBSERVING 1999 AS THE
     INTERNATIONAL YEAR OF OLDER PERSONS,"

begs leave to report as follows:

     The purpose of this concurrent resolution is to recognize
the contributions and needs of older adults by observing 1999 as
the International Year of Older Persons.

     The Hawaii State Commission on the Status of Women, the
Executive Office on Aging, and the Hawaii Long Term Care
Association testified in support of this measure.

     Your Committee supports the intergenerational collaboration
between the young and old, and suggests recognizing the State's
participation in this worldwide event at the Millennium Young
People's Congress, which is scheduled to be held in Honolulu in
October, 1999, to facilitate this process.

     Your Committee has amended this measure by:

     (1)  Adding a provision regarding intergenerational
          interactions; and

     (2)  Making technical, nonsubstantive amendments for clarity
          and style.

 
 
                                 STAND. COM. REP. NO. 2023

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your
Committee on Human Services and Housing that is attached to this
report, your Committee concurs with the intent and purpose of
S.C.R. No. 4, S.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends its
adoption in the form attached hereto as S.C.R. No. 4, S.D. 1,
H.D. 1.

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