STAND. COM. REP. NO. 74-04
Honolulu, Hawaii
, 2004
RE: H.B. No. 2476
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. 2476 entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO RADIOLOGIC TECHNOLOGY,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose of this bill is to update laws relating to the Radiologic Technology Board (Board) including:
(1) Changing the title of the executive secretary to executive officer and updating the executive officer's duties;
(2) Establish fines for violation of requirements under chapter 466J, Hawaii Revised Statutes, Radiologic Technology; and
(3) Making other technical and clarifying amendments.
The Department of Health (DOH) testified in support of this measure.
Your Committee finds that the title of executive officer rather than executive secretary will more accurately reflect the professional duties, qualifications, and responsibilities of the position. The title change of the position will not affect DOH's budget.
DOH testimony states that the establishment of fines provides an appropriate range of penalties for the range of violations encountered. Currently, penalties only include denial, suspension, and revocation of licenses.
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. 2476 and recommends that it pass Second Reading and be referred to the Committee on Labor and Public Employment.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Health,
|
