RE:   H.C.R. No. 148

      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 Housing, to which was referred H.C.R. No. 148 entitled:

 

"HOUSE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION URGING THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT TO SEEK REIMBURSEMENT FROM THE FEDERATED STATES OF MICRONESIA FOR HOMELESS SERVICES PROVIDED IN HAWAII TO MIGRANTS UNDER THE COMPACT OF FREE ASSOCIATION,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose of this concurrent resolution is to urge the United States government to seek reimbursement from the Federated States of Micronesia for homeless services provided to migrants in Hawaii who have entered the state through privileges provided under the Compact of Free Association (COFA).

 

     Several concerned individuals testified in support of this concurrent resolution.

 

     Your Committee has amended this concurrent resolution by:

 

     (1)  Deleting language referring to homeless services so that the request applies to all services provided to COFA migrants;

 

     (2)  Changing the title to read: "URGING THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT TO SEEK REIMBURSEMENT FROM THE FEDERATED STATES OF MICRONESIA FOR SERVICES PROVIDED IN HAWAII TO MIGRANTS UNDER THE COMPACT OF FREE ASSOCIATION"; and

     (3)  Making technical, nonsubstantive amendments for clarity, consistency, and style.

 

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Housing that is attached to this report, your Committee concurs with the intent and purpose of H.C.R. No. 148, as amended herein, and recommends that it be referred to the Committee on Finance in the form attached hereto as H.C.R. No. 148, H.D. 1.

 

 

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