RE: S.B. No. 2308
S.D. 2
Honorable Shan S. Tsutsui
President of the Senate
Twenty-Sixth State Legislature
Regular Session of 2012
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committee on Ways and Means, to which was referred S.B. No. 2308, S.D. 1, entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO LONG TERM CARE,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose and intent of this measure is to appropriate funds to the Executive Office on Aging of the Department of Health to administer a public education and awareness campaign on long-term care, and obtain an evaluation of the campaign.
Written comments in support of this measure were submitted by the Policy Advisory Board for Elder Affairs and Hawaii Alliance for Retired Americans. Written comments were submitted by the Executive Office on Aging.
Your Committee finds that a campaign targeted towards persons between the ages of forty-five and sixty-four about the risks of not planning for long-term care, and maximizing the length of independent living, will increase awareness of the importance of long-term care planning.
Your Committee has amended this measure by making technical nonsubstantive amendments for 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. 2308, S.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Third Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 2308, S.D. 2.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Ways and Means,
