Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-Fifth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2010

State of Hawaii

 

Madam and Sir:

 

     Your Committee on Conference on the disagreeing vote of the Senate to the amendments proposed by the House of Representatives in S.B. No. 2729, S.D. 2, H.D. 1, entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO IMMUNIZATION,"

 

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 measure is to establish a Hawaii immunization registry to maintain a single statewide repository of immunization records.

 

     Your Committee finds that the purpose of establishing a single statewide repository of immunization records is to aid, coordinate, and help promote efficient and cost-effective screening, prevention, and control of vaccine preventable diseases, including pandemic influenza.  Your Committee further finds that for patients who change health care providers, the Hawaii immunization registry will be accessible by their new provider to ensure that patients receive the immunizations they need while preventing the administration of unnecessary doses of vaccine.

 

     Your Committee has amended this measure by changing the effective date to upon approval.

 

     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 S.B. No. 2729, S.D. 2, H.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Final Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 2729, S.D. 2, H.D. 1, C.D. 1.

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the managers:

 

ON THE PART OF THE HOUSE

 

ON THE PART OF THE SENATE
