STAND. COM. REP. NO. 2277

 

Honolulu, Hawaii

                  

 

RE:    S.B. No. 2811

 

 

 

Honorable Shan S. Tsutsui

President of the Senate

Twenty-Sixth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2012

State of Hawaii

 

Sir:

 

     Your Committee on Human Services, to which was referred S.B. No. 2811 entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO QUALIFIED COMMUNITY REHABILITATION PROGRAMS,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose and intent of this measure is to eliminate the requirement for the Department of Human Resources Development to submit annual reports to the Legislature regarding expenditures of qualified community rehabilitation programs and related activities.

 

     Your Committee received testimony in support of this measure from the Department of Human Resources Development.

 

     Your Committee finds that the Department of Human Resources Development is instructed to submit annual reports to the Legislature regarding expenditures of qualified community rehabilitation programs and related activities pursuant to Act 213, Session Laws of Hawaii 2008.  Act 213(2008) amends section 76-77(16), Hawaii Revised Statutes, which modified the statutory exemption from civil service applicable to the counties of Hawaii, Maui, and Kauai, by setting a higher monetary limitation for contract services with qualified community rehabilitation programs.  Your Committee also finds that section 76-77, Hawaii Revised Statutes, does not apply to the State and because the statutory provision does not permit the State Executive Branch to contract with qualified community rehabilitation programs, the Department of Human Resources Development does not have anything to report on behalf of the State.  This measure eliminates the requirement of the Department of Human Resources Development to submit annual reports to the Legislature regarding expenditures of qualified community rehabilitation programs.

 

     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. 2811 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,
