Sir and Madam:
Your Committee on Conference on the disagreeing vote of the House of Representatives to the amendments proposed by the Senate in H.B. No. 807, H.D. 1, S.D. 2, entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO CAREGIVING,"
having met, and after full and free discussion, has agreed to recommend and does recommend to the respective Houses the final passage of this bill in an amended form.
The purpose of this bill is to formally establish an Office of the Long-Term Care Ombudsman within the Executive Office on Aging and to appropriate funds to establish three additional ombudsman program specialist IV positions and a clerk typist II position, to support a regional Long-Term Care Ombudsman Program on the neighbor islands.
Your Committee on Conference has amended this bill by:
(1) Deleting provisions establishing three additional ombudsman program specialist IV positions and a clerk typist II position, to support a regional Long-Term Care Ombudsman Program on the neighbor islands;
(2) Removing the appropriation section which would have funded the establishment of a regional Long-Term Care Ombudsman Program on the neighbor islands; and
(3) Making technical, nonsubstantive changes for clarity, consistency, and style.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the managers of your Committee on Conference that is attached to this report, your Committee on Conference is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 807, H.D. 1, S.D. 2, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Final Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 807, H.D. 1, S.D. 2, C.D. 1.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the managers:
