Honorable Robert Bunda

President of the Senate

Twenty-Third State Legislature

Regular Session of 2006

State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committee on Judiciary and Hawaiian Affairs, to which was referred H.B. No. 2286 entitled:

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO CHILD SUPPORT ENFORCEMENT,"

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this measure is to clarify that information maintained by the Child Support Enforcement Agency may be disclosed to persons who are directly involved in the administration and implementation of a program approved by Title IV-E of the Social Security Act.

Your Committee received testimony in support of this measure from the Department of the Attorney General and the Department of Human Services.

Your Committee finds that this measure allows the Child Support Enforcement Agency to disclose information to the Department of Human Services that is consistent with information being provided for other types of child welfare programs.

As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Judiciary and Hawaiian Affairs that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 2286, and recommends that it pass Third Reading.

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Judiciary and Hawaiian Affairs,
