Speaker, House of Representatives
Twentieth State Legislature

State of Hawaii

Sir:

     Your Committee on Finance, to which was referred H.C.R. No.
66 entitled: 

     "HOUSE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION REQUESTING THE DEPARTMENT OF
     HUMAN SERVICES TO CONVENE A PUBLIC-PRIVATE INTERAGENCY GROUP
     TO EXAMINE WAYS TO ADVOCATE THE CAPTURE AND MAXIMIZATION OF
     FEDERAL FUNDS TO SUPPORT HAWAII'S HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES
     PROGRAMS,"

begs leave to report as follows:

     The purpose of this measure is to request the Department of
Human Services (DHS) to convene a public-private interagency
group to examine ways to advocate the capture and maximization of
federal funds to support Hawaii's health and human services
programs.

     Your Committee on Finance recalls a past audit with regard
to the maximization of federal funds.

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your
Committee on Finance that is attached to this report, your
Committee concurs with the intent and purpose of H.C.R. No. 66,
and recommends its adoption.
