Sir:

 

     Your Committee on Legislative Management, to which was referred H.C.R. No. 326 entitled:

 

"HOUSE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION CONVENING A JOINT TASK FORCE TO REVIEW AND MAKE RECOMMENDATIONS CONCERNING THE STRUCTURE AND OPERATIONS OF THE HAWAII HEALTH SYSTEMS CORPORATION,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose of this concurrent resolution is to improve the Hawaii Health Systems Corporation (HHSC) by requesting the President of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives to convene a joint task force to make recommendations concerning HHSC's structure and operations.

 

     HHSC and numerous concerned individuals testified in support of this concurrent resolution. 

 

     Your Committee has amended this measure to clarify the composition of the joint task force by:

 

(1)  Including the chair, or a designee, of each of the legislative committees on health, instead of both the chair and vice chair of these committees;

 

(2)  Naming one member from the HHSC Board of Directors instead of two members;

 

(3)  Deleting representation from the Healthcare Association of Hawaii; and

 

     (4)  Adding the Director of Health or a designee.

 

Your Committee has further amended this measure by making technical, nonsubstantive amendments to correct drafting errors.

 

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Legislative Management that is attached to this report, your Committee concurs with the intent and purpose of H.C.R. No. 326, as amended herein, and recommends its adoption in the form attached hereto as H.C.R. No. 326, H.D. 1.

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Legislative Management,
