Sir:
Your Committee on Finance, to which was referred H.B. No. 1430, H.D. 1, entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO COMMUNITY ORAL HEALTH,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose of this bill is to increase access to dental services by appropriating funds to the Department of Health to contract with or hire licensed dental hygienists to improve the oral health of underserved children.
A concerned individual submitted testimony in support of this measure.
Your Committee has amended this bill by:
(1) Appropriating funds from the general fund instead of the Hawaii Tobacco Settlement Special Fund;
(2) Reducing the appropriation amount to $1 to promote further discussion; and
(3) Making technical, nonsubstantive amendments for purposes of clarity and style.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Finance that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 1430, H.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Third Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 1430, H.D. 2.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Finance,
