Sir:
Your Committee on Legislative Management, to which was
referred H.R. No. 202 entitled:
“HOUSE RESOLUTION REQUESTING THE LEGISLATIVE REFERENCE BUREAU
TO CONDUCT A STUDY TO DETERMINE THE IMPLEMENTATION AND
STANDARDS OF VARIOUS SEXUAL HEALTH EDUCATION POLICIES WITHIN
THE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION,”
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose of this measure is to request the Legislative
Reference Bureau to conduct a study to determine the
implementation and standards of various sexual health education
policies within the Department of Education.
Your Committee received testimony in support of this measure
from the American Association of University Women of Hawai’i and
Planned Parenthood Alliance Advocates-Hawai’i. Your Committee
received comments on this measure from the Legislative Reference
Bureau.
Your Committee finds that only twenty percent of Hawaii
middle schools and forty—eight percent of high schools provided
all twenty-two Centers for Disease Control and Prevention critical
sexual health education topics. This measure will ensure that
Hawaii’s students are provided with the knowledge and tools
necessary to make responsible, informed, and empowered choices
