STAND. COM. REP. NO.  56-10

 

Honolulu, Hawaii

                , 2010

 

RE:   H.B. No. 747

      H.D. 1

 

 

 

 

Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-Fifth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2010

State of Hawaii

 

Sir:

 

     Your Committee on Human Services, to which was referred H.B. No. 747 entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO DOMESTIC VIOLENCE,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose of this bill is to effectuate its title.

 

     H.B. No. 747 was introduced as a short-form bill, referred to as a "vehicle" bill, which ordinarily contains only a general idea as to the purpose of the bill without specific details.

 

     Your Committee has amended this bill to provide the substantive contents of this bill in long form so that a public hearing may be properly held on its substantive contents.

 

     Your Committee notes that the substantive contents added to this bill include a blank appropriation, however, should subsequent committees choose to hear this measure upon its re-committal, your Committee feels that an appropriation of $300,000 in TANF funds should be sufficient.

 

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Human Services that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the action to report out H.B. No. 747, as amended herein, and recommends that it be recommitted to the Committee on Human Services, for the purpose of holding a public hearing thereon, in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 747, H.D. 1.

 

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