RE:   H.B. No. 2385

 

 

 

 

Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-Fourth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2008

State of Hawaii

 

Sir:

 

     Your Committee on Health, to which was referred H.B. No. 2385 entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO JURIES,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose of this bill is to ensure psychologists may continue to provide services to clients with limited interruptions by providing a jury service exemption for actively practicing psychologists.

 

     Several concerned individuals supported this bill.  The Judiciary and League of Women Voters of Hawaii opposed this measure.

 

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Health that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 2385 and recommends that it pass Second Reading and be referred to the Committee on Judiciary.

 

 

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