     The purpose of this measure is to educate individuals about long term care.  Among other things, this bill:

     (2)  Establishes the goals of the campaign;

 

     (3)  Allows the Executive Office on Aging to develop a public-private partnership to fund and administer the campaign; and

 

     (4)  Requires the Director of the Executive Office on Aging to submit a report on the evaluation of the campaign to the Legislature no later than 20 days prior to the Regular Session of 2016.

 

     The Policy Board for Elder Affairs, AARP, ILWU Local 142, Hawaii Alliance for Retired Americans, Faith Action for Community Equity, and several individuals testified in support of this measure.  The Executive Office on Aging provided comments on this measure.

 

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Finance that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 2 and recommends that it pass Third Reading.

 

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