STAND. COM. REP. NO. 248

 

Honolulu, Hawaii

                  

 

RE:    S.B. No. 423

 

 

 

Honorable Donna Mercado Kim

President of the Senate

Twenty-Seventh State Legislature

Regular Session of 2013

State of Hawaii

 

Madam:

 

     Your Committee on Commerce and Consumer Protection, to which was referred S.B. No. 423 entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO IN VITRO FERTILIZATION INSURANCE COVERAGE,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose and intent of this measure is to amend references to the "American College of Obstetric and Gynecology" to "American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists".

 

     Your Committee received testimony in support of this measure from the Office of the Auditor.

 

     Your Committee finds that this measure makes technical nonsubstantive amendments in two sections of the Hawaii Revised Statutes that incorrectly reference the "American College of Obstetric and Gynecology".  Your Committee notes that the correct name of the organization that issues guidelines for in vitro fertilization clinics is the "American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists".

 

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Commerce and Consumer Protection that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 423 and recommends that it pass Second Reading and be placed on the calendar for Third Reading.

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Commerce and Consumer Protection,
