State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committee on Judiciary, to which was referred S.B. No. 2608 entitled:

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO GUARDIAN AND PROTECTIVE PROCEEDINGS,"

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this bill is to improve ease of reference by including information in the Uniform Probate Code about the effective date of Act 161, Session Laws of Hawaii 2004, through which the Uniform Guardianship and Protective Proceedings Act was adopted. Section 38 of Act 161, which took effect on January 1, 2005, provides that Act 161 does not affect any action commenced, proceeding brought, or right accrued prior to its effective date.

The Standing Committee on the Uniform Probate Code and Probate Court Practices of the Judiciary testified in support of this bill.

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. 2608 and recommends that it pass Second Reading and be placed on the calendar for Third Reading.

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