STAND. COM. REP. NO. 2-04
Honolulu, Hawaii
, 2004
RE: H.B. No. 1707
Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say
Speaker, House of Representatives
Twenty-Second State Legislature
Regular Session of 2004
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committee on Health, to which was referred H.B. No. 1707 entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO THE HAWAII MEDICAL EDUCATION SPECIAL FUND,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose of this bill is to transfer the administration of the Medical Education Special Fund (Special Fund) from the Medical Education Council (Council) to the University of Hawaii (UH).
UH testified in support of this bill.
Your Committee finds that transferring the administration of the Fund to UH may allow more opportunities for the Special Fund to receive moneys from a variety of sources, including grants. This measure will allow:
(1) The Special Fund to be administered in a manner that is consistent with other UH special funds; and
(2) The Council to function without the additional task of administering the Special Fund.
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. 1707 and recommends that it pass Second Reading and be referred to the Committee on Higher Education.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Health,
|
