                                 RE: S.B. No. 2484
                                     S.D. 1
                                     H.D. 1




Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say
Speaker, House of Representatives
Twentieth State Legislature
Regular Session of 2000
State of Hawaii

Sir:

     Your Committees on Judiciary and Hawaiian Affairs and Human
Services and Housing, to which was referred S.B. No. 2484, S.D.
1, entitled: 

     "A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO MEDICAID RECOVERY,"

beg leave to report as follows:

     The purpose of this bill as received is to clarify the
functions of the Medicaid Fraud Unit of the State Attorney
General's Office (Unit) to allow the enforcement of Medicaid
fraud and other federal health programs, and to allow the Unit to
conduct an elder abuse neglect and prevention program.

     Testimony in support of this measure was received from the
State Attorney General.

     Your Committees find that the stated purposes of the bill
exceed the scope of the title of the bill.  Therefore, your
Committees have amended this measure by deleting all proposed
provisions other than those relating to Medicaid recovery.

     As affirmed by the records of votes of the members of your
Committees on Judiciary and Hawaiian Affairs and Human Services
and Housing that are attached to this report, your Committees are
in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 2484, S.D. 1,
as amended herein, and recommend that it pass Second Reading in
the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 2484, S.D. 1, H.D. 1, and be
referred to the Committee on Finance.

                                   behalf of the members of the
                                   Committees on Judiciary and
                                   Hawaiian Affairs and Human
                                   Services and Housing,
