     Your Committee on Conference on the disagreeing vote of the
Senate to the amendments proposed by the House of Representatives
in S.B. No. 2872, S.D. 1, H.D. 1, entitled:

passage of this bill in an amended form.

     The purpose of this measure is to make an emergency
appropriation for the Hawaii Health Systems Corporation (HHSC).

HHSC can repay the State for moneys advanced to pay retroactive
and current fiscal year collective bargaining increase payments
to state employees working for the HHSC.

     Your Committee on Conference has amended this measure by:


 
a                                                     SB2872 CD1

          information relating to its accounts receivable; and

     (3)  Deleting reference in the proviso to collection
          repayment to the general fund.

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the managers of your
Committee on Conference that is attached to this report, your
Committee on Conference is in accord with the intent and purpose
of S.B. No. 2872, S.D. 1, H.D. 1, as amended herein, and
recommends that it pass Final Reading in the form attached hereto
as S.B. No. 2872, S.D. 1, H.D. 1, C.D. 1.
