STAND. COM. REP. NO.2489

Honolulu, Hawaii

, 2002

RE: S.B. No. 2692

 

 

Honorable Robert Bunda

President of the Senate

Twenty-First State Legislature

Regular Session of 2002

State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committee on Judiciary, to which was referred S.B. No. 2692 entitled:

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO MEDICAL SUPPORT FOR CHILDREN,"

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this measure is to require issuance of the federally prescribed National Medical Support Notice (NMSN) form when a responsible parent is ordered to provide medical insurance coverage for a child.

Your Committee finds that federal law mandates use of NMSN pursuant to Title IV-D of the Social Security Act. This measure brings Hawaii law into compliance with that federal law.

As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Judiciary that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 2692 and recommends that it pass Third Reading.

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