                                   RE:  H.B. No. 1836
                                        




Honorable Norman Mizuguchi
President of the Senate
Twentieth State Legislature
Regular Session of 2000
State of Hawaii

Sir:

     Your Committee on Judiciary, to which was referred H.B. No.
1836 entitled: 

     "A BILL FOR AN ACT REPEALING SECTION 327E-13(G), HAWAII
     REVISED STATUTES,"

begs leave to report as follows:

     The purpose of this measure is to provide that pregnant
women are covered by the Uniform Health Care Decisions Act.

     Your Committee finds that this measure repeals the exclusion
from chapter 327E, Hawaii Revised Statutes (HRS), for a patient
who is diagnosed as pregnant by the attending physician. 

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your
Committee on Judiciary that is attached to this report, your
Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No.
1836 and recommends that it pass Third Reading.
