Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-Third State Legislature

Regular Session of 2006

State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committee on Judiciary, to which was referred H.B. No. 2303 entitled:

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

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this bill is to streamline the child support enforcement process by:

(1) Allowing income withholding to continue when child support terminates and there are outstanding support payments owed; and

(2) Enabling the Child Support Enforcement Agency (CSEA) to adopt administrative rules as necessary to implement the income withholding requirements.

The Attorney General testified in support of this measure.

Your Committee has amended this bill by making technical, nonsubstantive amendments for clarity, consistency, and style.

As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Judiciary that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 2303, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 2303, H.D. 1, and be placed on the calendar for Third Reading.

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Judiciary,
