STAND. COM. REP. NO. 2448

 

Honolulu, Hawaii

                  

 

RE:    S.B. No. 1309

       S.D. 2

 

 

 

Honorable Colleen Hanabusa

President of the Senate

Twenty-Fifth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2010

State of Hawaii

 

Madam:

 

     Your Committee on Ways and Means, to which was referred S.B. No. 1309, S.D. 1, entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT MAKING AN APPROPRIATION TO THE WAIANAE COAST COMPREHENSIVE HEALTH CENTER,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose of this measure is to appropriate funds to the Waianae Coast Comprehensive Health Center for emergency medical services.

 

     Your Committee received comments in support of this measure from the Waianae Coast Comprehensive Health Center and the Hawaii Primary Care Association.  The Department of the Attorney General submitted comments.  Written comments may be reviewed on the Legislature's website.

 

     Your Committee finds that the Waianae Coast Comprehensive Health Center is the only medical service facility on the leeward coast of Oahu.  The health center is a vital provider of emergency medical services to residents in the area.  Your Committee believes that an appropriation to the Waianae Coast Comprehensive Health Center will protect the health and safety of leeward coast residents by allowing the center to provide twenty-four hour medical services to this community.

 

     Your Committee has amended this measure by:

 

     (1)  Changing the effective date of this measure to July 1, 2099, to facilitate further discussion; and

 

     (2)  Making technical, nonsubstantive changes for the purposes of clarity and style.

 

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Ways and Means that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 1309, S.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Third Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 1309, S.D. 2.

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Ways and Means,
