RE: S.B. No. 921
S.D. 2
H.D. 1
Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say
Speaker, House of Representatives
Twenty-Fifth State Legislature
Regular Session of 2009
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committee on Human Services, to which was referred S.B. No. 921, S.D. 2, entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO FEDERAL FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE FOR INDEPENDENT LIVING SERVICES AND CENTERS,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose of this bill is to ensure that the Statewide Council on Independent Living is in compliance with federal law and thereby eligible for federal funding by abolishing it as an entity within the Department of Human Services (DHS).
DHS, the State Council on Developmental Disabilities, the Statewide Independent Living Council, Hawaii Centers for Independent Living, and several concerned individuals supported this bill.
Your Committee has amended this bill by:
(1) Changing the effective date to January 1, 2050, to encourage further discussion; and
(2) Making technical, nonsubstantive amendments for clarity, consistency, and style.
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. 921, S.D. 2, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 921, S.D. 2, H.D. 1, and be referred to the Committee on Finance.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Human Services,
