Honorable Donna Mercado Kim

President of the Senate

Twenty-Seventh State Legislature

Regular Session of 2013

State of Hawaii

 

Madam:

 

     Your Committee on Health, to which was referred S.B. No. 137 entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO HEALTH,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose and intent of this measure is to amend the law relating to health.

 

     Your Committee has amended this measure by deleting its contents and replacing it with language that appropriates an unspecified amount of money to the Department of Health for the establishment of one full-time equivalent permanent position in the Department of Health to facilitate licensing of home care agencies.

 

     Prior to amending this measure, a proposed S.D. 1 was prepared and made available for public review.

    

     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 S.B. No. 137, as amended herein, and recommends that it be recommitted to the Committee on Health, in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 137, S.D. 1, for further consideration.

 


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