Honorable Norman Mizuguchi
President of the Senate
Twentieth State Legislature
Regular Session of 1999
State of Hawaii

Sir:

     Your Committee on Health and Human Services, to which was
referred H.C.R. No. 232, H.D. 1, entitled: 

     "HOUSE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION REQUESTING THE DEPARTMENT OF
     HUMAN SERVICES TO ADOPT INFANT AND CHILD CARDIOPULMONARY
     RESUSCITATION IN THEIR ADMINISTRATIVE RULES GOVERNING
     LICENSURE AND REGISTRATION OF CHILD CARE PROVIDERS,"

begs leave to report as follows:

     The purpose of this measure is to request the Department of
Human Services (DHS) to adopt infant and child cardiopulmonary
resuscitation (CPR) in their administrative rules governing
licensure and registration of child care providers.

     The intent of this measure is to save young lives from
unnecessary death due to untrained child care providers.  It has
been proven that early access to CPR can save a life.  Child care
providers need specialized CPR training for children.  This
measure requests the DHS to include infant and child CPR training
and certification in its administrative rules governing licensure
and registration of child care providers.

     Your Committee has amended this measure by:

     (1)  Adding respiratory resuscitation and first aid
          training;

     (2)  Deleting reference to the American Red Cross's
          recommendation and inserting American Heart
          Association's curriculum; and

     (3)  Revising the title accordingly.

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your
Committee on Health and Human Services that is attached to this
report, your Committee concurs with the intent and purpose of
H.C.R. No. 232, H.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends its
adoption in the form attached hereto as H.C.R. No. 232, H.D. 1,
S.D. 1.

                                   Services,
