RE: H.B. No. 448
H.D. 1
Honorable Joseph M. Souki
Speaker, House of Representatives
Twenty-Eighth State Legislature
Regular Session of 2015
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committee on Health, to which was referred H.B. No. 448 entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO DOMESTIC VIOLENCE,"
begs leave to report as follows:
Your Committee has amended this measure by:
(1) Specifying that the domestic violence fatality review team shall develop procedures related to near-deaths resulting from intimate partner violence and authorizing, rather than requiring, the Department of Health to enter into memoranda of understanding for that purpose;
(2) Changing its effective date to July 1, 2050, to facilitate further discussion; and
(3) Making technical, nonsubstantive amendments for clarity, consistency, and style.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Health that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 448, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 448, H.D. 1, and be referred to the Committee on Judiciary.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Health,
