Honorable Ronald D. Kouchi

President of the Senate

Thirty-First State Legislature

Regular Session of 2021

State of Hawaii

 

Honorable Scott K. Saiki

Speaker, House of Representatives

Thirty-First State Legislature

Regular Session of 2021

State of Hawaii

 

Sirs:

 

     Your Committee on Conference on the disagreeing vote of the Senate to the amendments proposed by the House of Representatives in S.B. No. 630, S.D. 1, H.D. 1, entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO CHILD SUPPORT ENFORCEMENT,"

 

having met, and after full and free discussion, has agreed to recommend and does recommend to the respective Houses the final passage of this bill in an amended form.

 

     The purpose of this measure is to establish that every judgment for child support is enforceable until paid in full.

 

     Your Committee on Conference finds that the costs associated with raising a child are extensive and persist for many years.

 

     Your Committee on Conference further finds that, under existing law, child support judgments are considered paid and discharged when the child turns thirty-three years old or when the latest period provided in section 657-5, Hawaii Revised Statutes, expires, whichever is later.  This measure will require that child support be paid in full to be considered discharged.

 

     Your Committee on Conference has amended this measure by making it effective upon its approval.

 

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the managers of your Committee on Conference that is attached to this report, your Committee on Conference is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 630, S.D. 1, H.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Final Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 630, S.D. 1, H.D. 1, C.D. 1.

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the managers:

 

ON THE PART OF THE HOUSE

 

ON THE PART OF THE SENATE
