                                   RE:  S.C.R. No. 32
                                        




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

Sir:

     Your Committee on Ways and Means, to which was referred
S.C.R. No. 32 entitled:

     "SENATE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION REQUESTING THE AUDITOR TO
     CONDUCT A STUDY OF MANDATORY HEALTH INSURANCE COVERAGE FOR
     DIABETES SELF-MANAGEMENT EDUCATION AND TRAINING,"

begs leave to report as follows:

     The purpose of this concurrent resolution is to request the
Auditor to study mandatory health insurance coverage for diabetes
self-management education and training.

     Your Committee finds this concurrent resolution must be
passed before the Legislature can consider passing S.B. No. 2657,
as amended, which mandates the new health insurance coverage.

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your
Committee on Ways and Means that is attached to this report, your
Committee concurs with the intent and purpose of S.C.R. No. 32,
and recommends its adoption.
