      H.D. 1

 

 

 

 

Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-Sixth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2012

State of Hawaii

 

Sir:

 

     Your Committee on Finance, to which was referred H.B. No. 2555, H.D. 1, entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO VITAL STATISTICS FEES,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose of this measure is to enhance customer service and fund federal requirements associated with vital statistics by:

 

     (1)  Establishing a $50 fee for expedited certified copy service or services that require special attention for registered birth, death, and marriage records;

 

     (2)  Establishing set fees for corrections to a vital statistics certificate and searches of files and records, and increasing fees for certified copies of birth, marriage, divorce, and death certificates;

 

     (3)  Redirecting certain specified fees into the Vital Statistics Improvement Special Fund; and

 

     (4)  Reallocating the increased fees for certified copies between the Vital Statistics Improvement Special Fund and the general fund.

 

     The Department of Health supported this bill.  The Office of Hawaiian Affairs opposed this measure.

 

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Finance that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 2555, H.D. 1, and recommends that it pass Third Reading.

 

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