Honorable Norman Mizuguchi
President of the Senate
Twentieth State Legislature
Regular Session of 1999
State of Hawaii

Sir:

     Your Committees on Health and Human Services and Education
and Technology, to which was referred S.B. No. 1196 entitled: 

     "A BILL FOR AN ACT MAKING AN APPROPRIATION FOR DRUG
     TREATMENT, COUNSELING, AND INTERVENTION SERVICES AT KING
     INTERMEDIATE SCHOOL,"

beg leave to report as follows:

     The purpose of this measure is to make an appropriation for
drug treatment, counseling, and intervention services at King
Intermediate School.

     Your Committees received testimony in support of this
measure from the Department of Education (DOE), Department of
Health (DOH), Governor Samuel Wilder King Intermediate School
(King Intermediate), Alcoholic Rehabilitation Services of Hawaii,
Inc., seventeen teachers and staff at King Intermediate, and a
private citizen.

     Your Committees find that there is a critical need for drug
treatment, counseling, and intervention services at the
intermediate school level in schools such as King Intermediate.
The program at King Intermediate is operated by Teen Care, which
has many substance abuse treatment, counseling, and intervention
programs in the high schools.

     As affirmed by the records of votes of the members of your
Committees on Health and Human Services and Education and
Technology that are attached to this report, your Committees are

 
a                                                     SB1196
