RE: H.C.R. No. 211
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 Committees on Human Services and Labor & Public Employment, to which was referred H.C.R. No. 211 entitled:
"HOUSE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION REQUESTING THE UNIVERSITY OF HAWAII COLLEGE ON SOCIAL SCIENCES PUBLIC POLICY CENTER AND SPARK M. MATSUNAGA INSTITUTE FOR PEACE AND CONFLICT RESOLUTION TO COLLABORATE WITH STATE AGENCIES AND ADVOCACY ORGANIZATIONS TO DEVELOP A COMPREHENSIVE PLAN THAT COORDINATES STATEWIDE POLICIES AND SERVICES FOR VICTIMS AND SURVIVORS OF HUMAN TRAFFICKING IN HAWAII,"
beg leave to report as follows:
Your Committees note that the Office of Community Services is mandated to serve the "disadvantaged, refugee, and immigrant" populations and deserves to be included in the working group to develop a comprehensive plan that coordinates statewide policies and services for victims and survivors of human trafficking in Hawaii. Your Committees also note that the University of Hawaii College of Social Sciences Public Policy Center and the Spark M. Matsunaga Institute for Peace and Conflict Resolution testified that they would need additional resources to develop the comprehensive plan. In addition, your Committees note that the selection of members to the working group needs to be thoroughly discussed as this measure advances to the Committee on Finance.
Your Committees have amended this measure by:
(1) Adding a clause to have the working group evaluate the impact and feasibility of providing training on human trafficking to public school teachers and including content on human trafficking in health curricula throughout the Department of Education;
(2) Amending its title to read:
"HOUSE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION REQUESTING THE UNIVERSITY OF HAWAII COLLEGE OF SOCIAL SCIENCES PUBLIC POLICY CENTER AND SPARK M. MATSUNAGA INSTITUTE FOR PEACE AND CONFLICT RESOLUTION TO COLLABORATE WITH STATE AGENCIES AND ADVOCACY ORGANIZATIONS TO DEVELOP A COMPREHENSIVE PLAN THAT COORDINATES STATEWIDE POLICIES AND SERVICES FOR VICTIMS AND SURVIVORS OF HUMAN TRAFFICKING IN HAWAII"; and
(3) Making technical, nonsubstantive amendments for clarity, consistency, and style.
As affirmed by the records of votes of the members of your Committees on Human Services and Labor & Public Employment that are attached to this report, your Committees concur with the intent and purpose of H.C.R. No. 211, as amended herein, and recommend that it be referred to the Committee on Finance, in the form attached hereto as H.C.R. No. 211, H.D. 1.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committees on Human Services and Labor & Public Employment,
