RE:   H.B. No. 2169

      H.D. 1

 

 

Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-Fourth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2008

State of Hawaii

 

Sir:

 

     Your Committee on Health, to which was referred H.B. No. 2169, H.D. 1, entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO HEALTH,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose of this bill is to bring the Board of Medical Examiners (Board) in line with similar state boards across the country and eliminate any confusion between the county medical examiner that performs death investigations and the Board which oversees licensure and regulations of physicians in Hawaii by changing the Board's name to the Hawaii Medical Board.

 

     The Board of Medical Examiners supported this bill.

 

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Health that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 2169, H.D. 1, and recommends that it pass Second Reading and be referred to the Committee on Consumer Protection & Commerce.

 

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Health,
