RE:   H.B. No. 2227

      H.D. 1

 

 

 

 

Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-Sixth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2012

State of Hawaii

 

Sir:

 

     Your Committee on Finance, to which was referred H.B. No. 2227, H.D. 1, entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO BIRTH CERTIFICATES,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose of this measure is to enable an individual with a gender designation that differs from the gender designated on the birth registrant's original birth certificate, to obtain an amended birth certificate reflecting the change.

 

     The Hawaii State Commission on the Status of Women, Equality Hawaii, the American Civil Liberties Union of Hawaii, Planned Parenthood of Hawaii, Pride at Work Hawaii, and numerous concerned individuals supported this measure.  The Department of Health and Hawaii Family Forum 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. 2227, H.D. 1, and recommends that it pass Third Reading.

 

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