Sir:

     Your Committee on Health and Human Services, to which was
referred S.B. No. 1026 entitled: 

     "A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO THE TRAINING OF EMERGENCY
     MEDICAL SERVICES PERSONNEL,"

begs leave to report as follows:

     The purpose of this administration measure is to authorize

the training of emergency medical services personnel.

     Testimony in favor of this measure was received from the
Hawaii State Department of Health and the University of Hawaii.
Testimony making comments was received from the Board of Medical
Examiners.

     Your Committee finds that the establishment of curricula and
syllabi will allow for better integration of emergency medical
services for all levels and types of medical care provided by all
emergency response agencies in the State of Hawaii.  

     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 is in accord with the intent and purpose
of S.B. 1026 and recommends that it pass Second Reading and be
placed on the calendar for Third Reading.
