Representative Jon Riki Karamatsu
House Journal Written Remarks, 3rd Reading
House Bill No. 2250, House Draft 1
Relating to the Uniform Child Abduction Prevention Act
Monday, March 2, 2010
I rise in support.
The purpose of this bill is to enact the Uniform Child Abduction Prevention Act, which was designed to determine the risk of a child being abducted by a parent, and establishes measures to prevent abductions before and after child custody determinations. Under this Act, courts are authorized to issue an abduction prevention order to, among other things, limit travel, or restrict visitation, and issue a warrant to take physical custody of the child.
Thank you.
