Honorable Joseph M. Souki

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-Eighth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2015

State of Hawaii

 

Sir:

 

     Your Committee on Human Services, to which was referred S.B. No. 1106, S.D. 2, entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO THE MEDICAID MANAGED CARE PROGRAM,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose of this measure is to replace specific statutory program references to "QUEST" and "QUEST Expanded Access" with the terms "medicaid managed care" or "medicaid managed care program" to reflect the program name changes that have occurred within the Department of Human Services.

 

     The Department of Human Services and Hawaii Primary Care Association supported this measure.  The Hawaii Community Pharmacists Association and an individual opposed this measure.  The Hawaii Association of Professional Nurses provided comments on this measure.  

 

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Human Services that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 1106, S.D. 2, and recommends that it pass Second Reading and be referred to the Committee on Finance.

 

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Human Services,
