      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 Finance, to which was referred H.B. No. 1370, H.D. 1, entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO DIVORCE,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose of this measure is to allow the Employees' Retirement System (ERS) Administrator to make direct payments of a portion of a member's pension, annuity, or retirement allowance to a non-member former spouse if the ERS is ordered to do so by a final judgment, order, or divorce decree.

 

     The Employees' Retirement System opposed this measure.

 

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Finance that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 1370, H.D. 1, and recommends that it pass Third Reading.

 

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