In 1981, she attended University of Hawai'i — Manoa graduating with a Journalism degree and worked as a newspaper reporter for The Honolulu Advertiser. In 1985 she attended UH Richardson School of Law, and in 1990 became a Prosecutor for the County of Kauai; prosecuting domestic violence, drug cases and numerous others. Judge Loo eventually established her own law firm (Shiramizu, Loo & Nakamura) and is currently working at KIUC and as a Per Diem Judge where she presides over Girls Court. Laurel has served on various boards including the Hawaii State Bar Association, Kauai Humane Society, and YWCA of Kauai, because Laurel believes in its mission of empowering women and eliminating racism. Laurel also believes that if we offer a role model for troubled girls, and encircle our young women, giving them services and hope, then they can have a successful and happy life. It takes a village, and she is proud to have come back home to serve our Kauai community. COUNCILWOMAN JoAnn YUKIMURA is a graduate of Kauai High School, Stanford University and University of Washington Law School. She was the first Japanese -American Woman Mayor in the United States and served in that role for six years where her Administration established the Kauai Bus, the first public transportation on the island. Also under her leadership as Mayor, the County Housing Agency aggressively pursued development of affordable homes, resulting in over 1,500 affordable homes being built since the 1990's. During her 22 years as a Councilwoman - often the only woman serving on the Council - she initiated innovative projects that enhanced the quality of life on Kauai, including starting the first Sunshine Market, first bike path, first self-help housing and the Kauai Public Land Trust. She was also on the organizing board to establish KIUC, Kaua'i's member -owned electric utility cooperative. This is just a sampling of JoAnn's far-reaching legacy as a watchdog and voice for the people of Kauai, and the result of her vision, courage and commitment in public service.

Expansion of Private Insurance Coverage Requirements: We'll continue to push back against federal attempts to undermine the Affordable Care Act by pursuing legislation that strengthens and expands our state law by requiring insurers to cover a wide range of sexual and reproductive health care services, including abortion. D Increased Access to Abortion Providers: Across the state, women are delayed or unable to access abortion care because Hawaii has an abortion provider shortage. Although advanced practice clinicians can provide medication abortions, current law limits the provision of aspiration abortions to physicians. We will seek to eliminate this barrier by pursuing legislation to allow qualified health care providers like physician's assistants, advanced practice registered nurses, and midwives to provide abortion care. a Family Planning Expansion: While Hawai'i has a low uninsured rate, gaps in coverage still exist for some populations. We will pursue legislation to develop a state - funded family planning program for those who would be eligible for Medicaid if not for their citizenship status and extend eligibility to at least 6 months post-partum. Midwife Licensure Bill (Breastfeeding Hawaii) This bill is similar to HB2184 introduced last year. It follows the recommendations of the State Auditor's Report 17-01 and State Auditor's Report 99-14 to regulate the profession of midwifery. Currently a variety of people attend birth, varying from no formal training through nationally certified providers, all whom call themselves midwives and who charge approximately the same fee. This has become a business for many non -formally trained providers. D Additionally Hawaii attracts certified professional midwives (nationally certified) who have held licenses in other state(s), and whose license was either suspended or revoked. Currently we have at least 3 persons practicing in this state who've lost their license elsewhere and 1 whom was practicing without a license in another state and moved here after the death of an infant, which led that state to require mandatory licensing. These providers do not disclose this to their clients; consumers often do not know how to look up the public records of their providers. Due to continuing poor outcomes arriving in our hospitals across the state from non - regulated birth providers, the State of Hawaii has the duty to provide minimum protections to consumers by regulating midwifery. DRAFT DRAFT DRAFT The State previously provided protections through midwifery laws up through 1999, at which point the State repealed the midwifery law to place certified nurse -midwives under the board of nursing as advanced practice registered nurses. The State did not follow through with the Auditor's recommendation to regulate midwifery at that point and took away the rights of consumers to have minimum protections in place. n At this time consumers are denied their right to informed choice and their right to access midwifery care with providers who meet the International Confederation of Midwives definition of a midwife (a formally trained provider). This bill seeks to recognize the profession of midwifery, provide a definition of a midwife, and allow midwives to practice to their fullest scope - which will expand women's health care access across the state. This version of the bill, per legislators request, will include an exemption for traditional birth attendants as long as they provide a disclosure form to clients to include language that they are not licensed and clients have no recourse should a poor outcome occur. VIOLENCE AND SAFETY Sex Assault/Abuse (Sex Abuse Treatment Center) Clinical Victim Support Services: Survivors of sexual violence can require clinical victim support services from qualified mental health providers to access resources, coordinate care, and address safety and reasonable accommodations with employers, schools and other entities. These medically necessary, standard of care services are not generally covered or provided by health insurers, and many survivors do not qualify for existing care coordination programs, such as QUEST programs for the severely mentally ill. This bill would resolve this service gap, and increase overall access to mental health services for survivors of sexual violence. Sexual Violence Prevention Education (Erin's Law): Despite the high rate of sexual violence experienced by children and young people in Hawaii, our state has not adopted Erin's Law to establish a system wide program for the delivery of sexual violence prevention education to children enrolled in public school. This bill requires the Department of Education to convene a multidisciplinary task force of agency, community and legislative stakeholders to establish a program for the consistent delivery of sexual violence prevention (Erin's Law) to students in grades pre-K through 12 through age appropriate curricula, provide relevant training to teachers and school staff, and inform parents about important sexual abuse topics. This bill further requires the Department to adopt and implement a program following the task force, and provides working group funding for FY 2018-2020. Civil Statute of Limitations Reform: Under current law, a lawsuit must be brought by age 26 years, or within 3 years of victims' discovery as adults that they suffered an injury resulting from the child sexual abuse. The current law prevents victims from being able to seek justice, as many do not disclose their abuse until after age 26, and 3 years from discovering that one was injured leaves little time to recover from the injury and be ready to face one's abuser in court. This bill would extend the civil statute of limitations to age 40 years, or within 10 years of discovering injury. 3 DRAFT DRAFT DRAFT SEX TRAFFICKING "Survivors Not Criminals" Bill (Hawai'i State Commission on the Status of Women) This bill would allow all people bought and sold in the sex trade to vacate a conviction under section 712-1200 (prostitution - selling), 712-1206, or 712-1207, regardless proven victimization under sex trafficking or promoting prostitution statutes. The sex trade is a highly feminized system where the majority of those bought and sold are women -identified, minors, the poor and powerless. This bill would allow for women to better successfully exit prostitution without the barriers and burden of attached social stigma. a Hawaii Sex Trafficking Database Bill (Hawai'i State Commission on the Status of Women) Hawai'i faces a data crisis around sex trafficking. Due to the covert nature of sex trafficking activities, creating reliable statistics on prevalence, frequency, geography, and particulars of sex trafficking have been difficult to develop. This has stymied efforts to address the issue. This bill would add a new section in Chapter 712 that will create a centralized sex trafficking database for Hawaii. The bill will designate the Hawaii State Commission on the Status of Women as the state's data collector and require a mandatory annual report to Legislature. This bill will allow for increased public access to sex trafficking. Human Trafficking Statewide Training Bill (Hawai'i State Commission on the Status of Women) This bill would add a new section to HRS § 712 to create a Statewide Training on Hawai'i's Human Trafficking laws for all criminal justice personnel. The Attorney General will provide or coordinate training for law enforcement personnel, prosecutors, and court personnel cover Hawai7s state anti -trafficking laws. The training shall encourage interdisciplinary coordination among criminal justice personnel, build cultural competency, and develop understanding of the diverse victim populations including, children, youth, adults, Native Hawaiians, immigrants and LGBTQs. The AG shall provide annual report to the Legislature. ECONOMIC JUSTICE EQUAL PAY (AAUW): BACKGROUND: In 2017, median annual earnings for men in Hawaii were $51,594 compared to $41,664 for women — an earnings ratio of just 81 percent, or 23rd out of all states and the District of Columbia, based on the most recent census data (Source: AAUW Simple Truth about the Gender Pay Gap - Fall 2018 Edition). The earnings ratio was 84 percent in 2015. Gender pay gap has worsened in Hawai' i. Passage of Act 108 in 2018 that becomes effective January 1, 2019 was a step towards ensuring that the disparity between men and women diminishes and this equal pay Act proposes to establish Hawaii as a leader in this field, as Hawaii has led the way in civil rights. The purpose of this Act is to: Expand and provide an interpretation of Section 378-2.3, Hawaii Revised Statutes to make it a more effective and enforceable tool to end pay disparity: 4 DRAFT DRAFT DRAFT ■ Clarification on factors which can be used by the employers to defend the pay difference, ■ Addition of classes of people covered (including LGBTQ) to match Section 378-2, ■ Change of standard used to compare wages to "substantially similar" from "equal"; ■ Clarify that Hawai7s law is stronger than the federal Equal Pay Act; and ■ Increase salary transparency by making salary range available which would help employers control their pay expenses and ensure pay equity. Raise the minimum wage. (Appleseed) Most likely to $17 over a number of years. This is a women's issue because the majority of minimum wage workers are women, the lowest -paid occupations are female - dominated. Elimination of income tax for workers in poverty. (Appleseed) Hawaii is in the minority of states that imposes state income tax on families living in poverty. This is a women's issue because women have higher poverty rates than men, and families headed by single moms have the highest poverty rates of all family types. SNAP Double Bucks. (Appleseed) This program would allow SNAP recipients to get double credit when using their SNAP benefits to purchase Hawaii -grown fresh produce. Most SNAP recipients are female, and most SNAP households have children in them. Hawai'i's Child and Dependent Care Tax Credit (Hawai'i Children's Action Network) Bill to expand the existing Hawaii Dependent Care Tax Credit by raising the limit of the tax credit and increasing the percentages used to calculate a family's benefit amount. Paid Family Leave (Hawai'i Children's Action Network) Bill creating a paid family leave program to provide earned, job -protected, paid time off for workers who need to care for a new child or seriously ill or injured family member. This bill will include a process for designating an individual as "family" for purposes of this law, job protection so that workers have a job to return to once their leave ends, and progressive wage replacement so that low-income workers can maintain financial stability while experiencing a leave -triggering life event. DRAFT DRAFT DRAFT CIVIL RIGHTS Ho'okipa (J20) The Bill: The Ho'okipa bill re -introduced in the 2019 session. Recent court decisions validate the constitutionality of sanctuary legislation, with apparently little or no effect on federal funding. Hundreds of jurisdictions across the nation have retained their sanctuary laws because they maintain community safety. Purpose: The Ho'okipa (Welcoming) bill is designed to maintain community safety by limiting the assistance that state and local law enforcement agencies provide to federal immigration enforcement agencies. The bill represents a compassionate response to President Trump's cruel and inhumane immigration policies. Background: An estimated 45,000 undocumented women and men immigrants live in Hawaii. The great majority of them entered the country with a visa, but overstayed, which is not a crime. For the most part, they are living peacefully in our communities. Many of their friends and neighbors do not even realize they are undocumented. Women and Children are being impacted disproportionately by violence, sex assault and abuse as a direct result of The Trump anti -immigrant policies. ■ President Trump signed an executive order on Jan. 25, 2017 that is designed to do the following: (1) Deport all 11 million undocumented immigrants from our country; (2) Deputize local police to act as agents of federal immigration enforcement agencies; and (3) Withhold federal grants from jurisdictions that do not assist federal immigration enforcement agencies. ■ 43% of advocates have worked with immigrant survivors who dropped civil or criminal cases because they were fearful to continue with their cases as a result of this order. ■ Survivors are concerned that they will be detained if they make a police report or call 911. A 16-year-old survivor attempted suicide because she was concerned that her offender would report her and her family to ice. ■ Immigration is a purely federal function. State and local governments need not assist federal agencies in implementing federal immigration law. Hundreds of cities, counties — and even a few states — realize that such assistance threatens community safety, and have adopted legislation that limits it. Although these laws are referred to as "sanctuary" legislation, they provide no special protections to undocumented immigrants that are not available to anyone else. The Ho'okipa bill was introduced in the 2018 session, but it did not pass. As it was being considered, two questions arose: (1) Is the bill legal, and can it pass constitutional muster? (2) Can the Trump administration withhold federal grant funds from sanctuary jurisdictions? Recent court decisions have answered these questions. First, a federal judge upheld the sanctuary law passed by California in 2017. Hawai'i's Ho'okipa bill is conceptually similar to it. Second, the U.S. Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that the federal administration may not withhold federal grants from sanctuary jurisdictions, as only Congress can put conditions on federal grants. G DRAFT DRAFT DRAFT D Still, there may be some concern that, if Hawai'i adopts the Ho'okipa bill, President Trump would withhold federal funds, such as disaster relief funds from Hawai'i for areas affected by the Kilauea volcano and Hurricane Lane. Fortunately, California serves as a precedent. California's sanctuary law seems to have had no effect on federal disaster assistance that is being provided to victims of the recent fires in California. In addition, more than $200 million in federal funds were recently released for long-term recovery from the California fires of 2017. "No License to Discriminate" Bill (Trans Rights) (Hawai'i State Commission on the Status of Women) Allow an applicant to apply for a new limited purpose driver's license or renewing a limited purpose driver's license, limited purpose provisional driver's license, or limited purpose instruction permit to opt -out of having a sex/gender marker. Sex -marked identity documents offer institutional cover for administrative agents to express transgender animus under the pretense of fraud. It is overly burdensome to obtain a new sex/gender on a driver's license. Gender Equity Baby Diaper -Changing Accommodations Bill (Hawai'i State Commission on the Status of Women) Add a new part to Chapter 489 to require all places of public accommodation to provide baby diaper -changing accommodations that are equally accessible to men and women. Incentivize men to participate equally in childcare. SUPPORT PACKAGE Voting MAKING DEMOCRACY WORK: Automatic Voter Registration (League of Women Voters of Hawai'i) Hawaii has reformed its voter registration processes in recent years (to include online voter registration and same day voter registration), yet a significant number of eligible persons remain unregistered. "Automatic Voter Registration" would provide that eligible citizens seeking a driver's license or State identification would automatically be registered to vote, unless they affirmatively decline. �- This approach preserves the County Clerk's current responsibility for maintaining accurate registration rolls, but makes this important process more efficient. A voter's registration information (such as residence address) could also be updated using this approach. At least two bills for this purpose will be introduced during session, including one VA DRAFT DRAFT DRAFT sponsored by the Office of Elections. League will testify in support (with suggestions) on each measure.
