Sir:

Your Committee on Ways and Means, to which was referred S.B. No. 2274 entitled:

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this measure is to appropriate funds to the Department of Health to support the case management program of the Maui AIDS Foundation.

Your Committee finds that this measure is necessary to maintain the existence of the Maui AIDS Foundation, which has experienced numerous funding cuts over the past years while its case load has continued to increase.

Your Committee has amended this measure by changing the appropriation to a blank amount.

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 is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 2274, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Third Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 2274, S.D. 1.
