RE:   H.B. No. 2250

      H.D. 1

 

 

 

 

Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-Fifth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2010

State of Hawaii

 

Sir:

 

     Your Committee on Finance, to which was referred H.B. No. 2250, H.D. 1, entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO THE UNIFORM CHILD ABDUCTION PREVENTION ACT,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose of this bill is to enact the Uniform Child Abduction Prevention Act, which was designed to determine the risk of a child being abducted by a parent, and establishes measures to prevent abductions before and after child custody determinations.  Under this Act, courts are authorized to issue an abduction prevention order to, among other things, limit travel, or restrict visitation, and issue a warrant to take physical custody of the child. 

 

     The Commission to Promote Uniform Legislation testified in support of this bill.  The Hawaii Family Forum and the Hawaii Catholic Conference provided comments.

 

     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. 2250, H.D. 1, and recommends that it pass Third Reading.

 

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