                                 RE: H.B. No. 1120
                                     




Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say
Speaker, House of Representatives
Twentieth State Legislature
Regular Session of 1999
State of Hawaii

Sir:

     Your Committee on Finance, to which was referred H.B. No.
1120 entitled: 

     "A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO PERSONAL CARE SERVICES
     PAYMENT,"

begs leave to report as follows:

     The purpose of this bill is to repeal section 346-64, Hawaii
Revised Statutes (HRS), which is unnecessary as personal care
services are now provided through the Medicaid Home and
Community-based Waiver Programs under chapter 346D, HRS, relating
to long-term care.

     The Department of Human Services testified in support of
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.
1120 and recommends that it pass Third Reading.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
                                 STAND. COM. REP. NO. 797

                                   behalf of the members of the
                                   Committee on Finance,



                                   ______________________________
