Summary: The House Committee on Human Services and Homelessness heard several resolutions focused on disability access, housing, and support for Native Hawaiian beneficiaries. SCR 63 SD1 would have the Disability and Communication Access Board study communication needs in health care settings for people who are deaf, hard of hearing, or deaf-blind and revise provider guidance; testimony was strongly supportive, including from the board, a physician, and a family member who described harmful delays in care, and the committee later recommended passage as is. SCR 8 would require counties to act within 45 days on completed permit applications for home modifications needed for an older adult or person with a disability; testimony noted delays in permitting and financing, and the committee recommended passage as is. The committee also heard SCR 160, which urges state housing agencies to create a “housing ladder” program to help individuals and families move from subsidized to unsubsidized housing. Hawaii Public Housing Authority and other agencies supported the concept, and DHS described its family self-sufficiency program and said prior federal resident-services funding had declined over the past 20 years. The committee acknowledged the program may already exist in some form but still recommended adoption of the resolution as is. SCR 90 would ask county planning departments to establish kupuna-friendly building permit requirements for parking accessibility in private businesses. The committee moved it forward with an HD1 for technical amendments; a member raised concern that the measure did not specify the age threshold for “kupuna,” and said they would vote with reservations. Finally, SCR 93 would direct DHHL and the Statewide Office of Homelessness and Housing Solutions to develop a coordinated support and stabilization pathway for Native Hawaiian beneficiaries experiencing homelessness or very low income. DHHL said it is already operating a transitional housing effort called Ka Leo Opu Mama for about 18 beneficiaries using more than $6 million in federal Nah Ho Sa funds, with no dedicated state funding, and the committee recommended passage as is. The meeting ended with the chair thanking testifiers and members and adjourning the hearing.

Summary: The committee first took up HB 636 by Rep. LaFleur, a hazing-prevention bill for public postsecondary institutions. After adopting a chairman’s amendment set that shifted implementation to management boards with the Board of Regents, allowed standardized reporting forms, and added a lifetime ban on re-chartering for organizations involved in a hazing death, the committee heard emotional testimony from Caleb Wilson’s mother and from Jason Hughes, who chaired the task force that developed the bill. Members from both parties expressed support, and HB 636 was reported as amended and renamed the Caleb Wilson Hazing Prevention Act. The committee then heard HB 218, also by Rep. LaFleur, requiring public schools to administer food insecurity screenings using an existing McKinney-Vento-based process with added questions. Witnesses from the Department of Education and charter schools explained the screening questions and said the process would help identify students in need without violating confidentiality, while a faith-community witness urged schools to partner with churches and charities. Concerns were raised about privacy and whether schools already had authority to help hungry students, but the bill was reported with amendments. The committee also approved HB 626 by Rep. Jordan, which would require colleges and universities to provide suicide-prevention information, hotline access, and aggregated reporting on suicide risk; the Board of Regents said most campuses already use 988 or telehealth services and could comply without major new costs, and the bill was reported favorably. Next, HB 749 by Rep. Carver was considered to modernize the state’s college savings and ABLE programs by moving administration to a third-party manager and improving online access and security. Treasury and Board of Regents staff said the state would retain oversight, that ABLE accounts would not be charged fees, and that implementation would be supported by executive-budget funding; the bill was reported favorably. HB 352 by Rep. Mack, a cleanup bill on behavioral health services in schools, drew testimony from parents, ABA providers, and teacher representatives. Supporters said some districts were still blocking medically necessary services in classrooms, while educators asked for clearer pre-conference expectations to avoid disruption; after amendment, the bill was reported with amendments. The committee also approved HB 201 creating a state seal of fine arts and HB 738 revising student disciplinary proceedings at colleges and universities, and it began discussion of HCR 14, which supports federal efforts to eliminate the U.S. Department of Education.
