STAND. COM. REP. 496

Honolulu, Hawaii

, 2003

RE: H.B. No. 1342

H.D. 1

 

 

 

Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-Second State Legislature

Regular Session of 2003

State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committee on Human Services and Housing, to which was referred H.B. No. 1342 entitled:

"A BILL FOR AN ACT MAKING AN APPROPRIATION FOR YOUTH SERVICES,"

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this bill is to appropriate $1,000,000 for youth service centers.

The Office of Youth Services supported this bill as long as it does not replace or adversely impact its Executive Budget priorities.

Your Committee finds that youth service centers provide safe environments, along with access to opportunities and services, that empower Hawaii's youth to achieve successful transitions to adulthood.

Your Committee has amended this bill by changing the appropriation amount to $1 to facilitate further discussion. Other technical, nonsubstantive amendments were made for purposes of clarity and style.

 

As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Human Services and Housing that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 1342, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 1342,

H.D. 1, and be referred to the Committee on Finance.

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Human Services and Housing,
