Sir:

 

     Your Committee on Human Services, to which was referred S.B. No. 1099, S.D. 2, entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO ELIMINATING THE ASSET LIMIT ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENT FOR THE TEMPORARY ASSISTANCE FOR NEEDY FAMILIES PROGRAM,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose of this measure is to support the self-sufficiency of families by eliminating the asset limit eligibility requirement for participation in the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) program for households with minor dependent children.

 

     The Department of Human Services; Office of Community Services; Hawaii State Commission on the Status of Women; Office of Hawaiian Affairs; Hawaii Appleseed Center for Law and Economic Justice; Catholic Charities Hawaii; Goodwill Industries of Hawaii, Inc.; Legal Aid Society of Hawaii; and a concerned individual testified in support of this measure.  

 

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Human Services that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 1099, S.D. 2, and recommends that it pass Second Reading and be referred to the Committee on Finance.

 

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Human Services,
