RE: H.C.R. No. 183

 

 

 

Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-Second State Legislature

Regular Session of 2004

State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committee on Human Services and Housing, to which was referred H.C.R. No. 183 entitled:

"HOUSE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION URGING THE DEPARTMENT OF HUMAN SERVICES TO SUPPORT PROJECT CUDDLE AND ASSESS THE FEASIBILITY OF ADVERTISING ITS HOTLINE,"

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this concurrent resolution is to urge the Department of Human Services (DHS) to help prevent infants from being abandoned by supporting Project Cuddle and assessing the feasibility of advertising its toll-free number so that women and friends and relatives of women who are considering abandoning a baby may have an alternative.

DHS supported this concurrent resolution.

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 H.C.R. No. 183 and recommends that it be referred to the Committee on Finance.

 

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