Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-Sixth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2012

State of Hawaii

 

Sir:

 

     Your Committee on Finance, to which was referred S.B. No. 2800, S.D. 1, entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO EXEMPTIONS FROM CHILD CARE LICENSING,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose of this measure is to increase efficiency in child care licensing by exempting from licensing by the Department of Human Services any child care program already licensed by the Department of Education and any kindergarten, school, or child care program already licensed by the Charter School Review Panel, Hawaii Council of Private Schools, or any federal agency.

 

     This measure also exempts from licensing by the Department of Human Services child care programs for children under five years of age conducted by the counties under specified conditions.

 

     The Department of Human Services and Hawaii Association of Independent Schools supported this bill.  The Hawaii Association for the Education of Young Children opposed this measure.

 

     Your Committee has amended this measure by changing its effective date to July 1, 2030, to encourage further discussion.

 

     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 S.B. No. 2800, S.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Third Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 2800, S.D. 1, H.D. 1.

 

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