RE: S.C.R. No. 17
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 S.C.R. No. 17 entitled:
"SENATE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION URGING THE UNITED STATES CONGRESS TO INCREASE FUNDING FOR THE NATIONAL INSTITUTES OF HEALTH,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose of this concurrent resolution is to urge the United States Congress to increase funding for the National Institutes of Health.
There were no testifiers for this measure, and your Committee finds that there is insufficient interest to pursue this concurrent resolution further.
Upon further consideration, your Committee has amended this concurrent resolution by:
(1) Replacing its contents with substance that:
(A) Urges the setting of an example to our children and out-of-state visitors by designating the State Capitol as a smoke free building; and
(B) Requests that the Governor take steps to ensure enforcement of existing law that prohibits smoking in public areas of state-owned buildings;
and
(2) Changing its title to read: "URGING THE SETTING OF AN EXAMPLE TO OUR CHILDREN AND OUT-OF-STATE VISITORS BY DESIGNATING ALL AREAS OF THE STATE CAPITOL SMOKE-FREE.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Health that is attached to this report, your Committee concurs with the intent and purpose of S.C.R. No. 17, as amended herein, and recommends its adoption as S.C.R. No. 17, H.D. 1.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Health,
