Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-Sixth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2012

State of Hawaii

 

Sirs:

 

     Your Committee on Conference on the disagreeing vote of the Senate to the amendments proposed by the House of Representatives in S.B. No. 2344, S.D. 2, H.D. 1, entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT MAKING AN APPROPRIATION FOR THE HAWAII HEALTH AUTHORITY,"

 

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 appropriate funds for operational expenses relating to the Hawaii Health Authority.

 

     Your Committee on Conference finds that it is the goal of the Hawaii Health Authority to institute a universal health care system in the State, and consequently, the lack of funding that significantly hampers the Authority's efforts needs to be swiftly addressed.

 

     Your Committee on Conference has amended this measure by:

 

     (1)  Inserting an appropriation amount of $100,000; and

 

     (2)  Changing the effective date to July 1, 2012.

 

     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. 2344, 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. 2344, 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
