STAND. COM. REP. NO. 2780

 

Honolulu, Hawaii

                  

 

RE:    S.B. No. 2827

       S.D. 1

 

 

 

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. 2827, S.D. 1, entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO THE TRAUMA SYSTEM SPECIAL FUND,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose and intent of this measure is to add the costs of staffing and operating the State's injury prevention program to those costs that are subsidized by the trauma system special fund.

 

     Written comments in support of this measure were submitted by the Injury Prevention Advisory Committee and one individual.  Written comments were also submitted by the Hawaii Bicycling League.

 

     Your Committee finds that since injury prevention is essential to reducing traumatic injuries, it is in the best interest of the State to have the costs of the State's injury prevention program funded by the Trauma System Special Fund.

 

     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. 2827, S.D. 1, and recommends that it pass Third Reading.

 

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