STAND. COM. REP. NO. 663

 

Honolulu, Hawaii

                  

 

RE:    S.B. No. 774

       S.D. 2

 

 

 

Honorable Colleen Hanabusa

President of the Senate

Twenty-Fifth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2009

State of Hawaii

 

Madam:

 

     Your Committee on Ways and Means, to which was referred S.B. No. 774, S.D. 1, entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO SCHOOLS,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose of this measure is to improve before- and after-school care for school-aged children in the State.

 

     More specifically, this measure appropriates temporary assistance for needy families program funds for non-school hour programs and allocates funds for the implementation of a Safe Haven demonstration program in the county of Hawaii.

 

     Your Committee received two written comments on this measure.  Copies of written comments submitted are available for review on the Legislature's website.

 

     Your Committee finds that non-school hour programs provide school-aged children with positive opportunities and experiences.  Your Committee further finds that involvement in these programs deters problems of juvenile crime, drug use, and experimentation with tobacco, alcohol, and sexual activity.

 

     Your Committee amended this measure by:

 

     (1)  Changing the effective date of the appropriations to July 1, 2090, to facilitate further discussion on the measure; and

 

     (2)  Making technical, nonsubstantive amendments.

 

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Ways and Means that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 774, S.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Third Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 774, S.D. 2.

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Ways and Means,
