RE: S.B. No. 2693

 

 

 

Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-First State Legislature

Regular Session of 2002

State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committees on Judiciary and Hawaiian Affairs and Human Services and Housing, to which was referred S.B. No. 2693 entitled:

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

beg leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this bill is to:

(1) Provide for the calculation of a responsible parent's child support obligation based upon federally approved guidelines in those cases where public assistance is provided to the child or children by the Department of Human Services; and

(2) Provide for the recordation of out-of-state child support orders at the Bureau of Conveyances.

Your Committees received testimony in support of this bill from the Attorney General. The Attorney General's testimony explained that the bill's provisions are necessary in order to comply with federal requirements under Title IV-D of the Social Security Act and continue federal funding of child support enforcement programs.

 

As affirmed by the records of votes of the members of your Committees on Judiciary and Hawaiian Affairs and Human Services and Housing that are attached to this report, your Committees are in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 2693 and recommend that it pass Second Reading and be placed on the calendar for Third Reading.

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committees on Judiciary and Hawaiian Affairs and Human Services and Housing,
