RE:    S.B. No. 2075

 

 

 

Honorable Colleen Hanabusa

President of the Senate

Twenty-Fifth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2010

State of Hawaii

 

Madam:

 

     Your Committee on Human Services, to which was referred S.B. No. 2075 entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT MAKING AN APPROPRIATION FOR THE STATE COMMISSION ON FATHERHOOD,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose of this measure is to appropriate funds to implement the State Commission on Fatherhood's strategic plan. 

 

     Your Committee received testimony in support of this measure from the State Commission on Fatherhood.  Written testimony presented to the Committee may be reviewed on the Legislature's website.

 

     Your Committee finds that appropriating funds to the State Commission on Fatherhood (Commission) will allow the Commission to reimburse neighbor island Commissioners for travel expenses, establish an office, hire a director, and hire a clerical staff person.  Your Committee notes that the Commission has a statutory duty to serve in an advisory capacity to state agencies to promote healthy family relationships between parents and children, including by acting as a central clearinghouse and coordinating body for governmental and nongovernmental activities and information for the promotion of healthy families.  Your Committee finds that providing funding for the Commission will allow the Commission to carry out its duties and functions. 

 

     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. 2075 and recommends that it pass Second Reading and be referred to the Committee on Ways and Means.

 

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