STAND. COM. REP. 1361

Honolulu, Hawaii

, 2003

RE: H.C.R. No. 19

 

 

 

Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-Second State Legislature

Regular Session of 2003

State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committee on Higher Education, to which was referred H.C.R. No. 19 entitled:

"HOUSE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION SUPPORTING THE DEVELOPMENT OF A RURAL HEALTH CARE CENTER AT THE UNIVERSITY OF HAWAII AT HILO,"

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this concurrent resolution is to support the development of a rural health care center at the University of Hawaii at Hilo (UH-Hilo).

Two faculty members from UH-Hilo submitted testimony in support of this concurrent resolution.

Your Committee finds that a rural health care center would greatly benefit the people of Hilo and serve a public purpose for the State. Your Committee finds that the development of the health center would be best accomplished through the establishment of a task force consisting of representatives from UH and other concerned stakeholders.

As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Higher Education that is attached to this report, your Committee concurs with the intent and purpose of H.C.R. No. 19 and recommends that it be referred to the Committee on Finance.

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Higher Education,
