Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-First State Legislature

Regular Session of 2001

State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committee on Health, to which was referred H.B. No. 699 entitled:

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this bill is to delete the requirement that individuals who are to be tested for substance abuse be given a "medication" disclosure form.

Testimony in support of this measure was received from the Department of Health and the Office of the Lieutenant Governor.

Your Committee recognizes that this is an administration bill that is part of the Slice Waste and Tape (SWAT) Program. Moreover, your Committee realizes that this measure eliminates an unnecessary form and duplication of work.

As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Health that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 699 and recommends that it pass Second Reading and be referred to the Committee on Judiciary and Hawaiian Affairs.
