Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-First State Legislature

Regular Session of 2001

State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committees on Human Services and Housing and Higher Education, to which was referred H.B. No. 840 entitled:

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO THE UNIVERSITY OF HAWAII,"

beg leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this bill is to establish a data and research office for children and families in the Center on the Family at the University of Hawaii at Manoa (UH).

Testimony in support of this measure was submitted by UH and Hawaii Kids Count.

Your Committees recognize that passing this measure would allow UH to do research relating to the health and well-being of families. Further, the information gathered from this research will assist in achieving an accurate and reliable statistical picture of the status of Hawaii's children and families.

Your Committees have amended this bill by:

(1) Replacing the appropriation amount with $1 to facilitate further discussion; and

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

 

As affirmed by the records of votes of the members of your Committees on Human Services and Housing and Higher Education that are attached to this report, your Committees are in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 840, as amended herein, and recommend that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 840, H.D. 1, and be referred to the Committee on Finance.

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committees on Human Services and Housing and Higher Education,
