Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say
Speaker, House of Representatives

State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committee on Conference on the disagreeing vote of the Senate to the amendments proposed by the House of Representatives in S.B. No. 27, S.D. 1, H.D. 1, entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT MAKING AN APPROPRIATION FOR THE KAPIOLANI CHILD AT-RISK EVALUATION PROGRAM,"
having met, and after full and free discussion, has agreed to recommend and does recommend to the respective Houses the final passage of this bill in an amended form.
The purpose of this measure is to appropriate funds for nonschool-hour programs for children and youth.
The Kapiolani Health System reports that over two thousand five hundred children are abused and neglected each year in Hawaii. The Kapiolani Child At-Risk Evaluation Program is dedicated to helping those children. Its mission is to provide comprehensive, coordinated, and compassionate forensic health services to children who are victims or suspected victims of abuse and neglect. The Kapiolani Child At-Risk Evaluation Program offers pre-placement medical evaluations and comprehensive health evaluations for children entering foster care, and forensic medical evaluations for children who are being investigated for allegations of abuse and neglect.
Your Committee on Conference has amended this measure by:
(1) Clarifying the correct name of the recipient of the funds as the Kapiolani Medical Center for Women and Children;
(2) Changing the chapter reference with regard to the authority for the funding; and
(3) Inserting the appropriation amount of $200,000 for fiscal year 2005-2006.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the managers of your Committee on Conference that is attached to this report, your Committee on Conference is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 27, S.D. 1, H.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Final Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 27, S.D. 1, H.D. 1, C.D. 1.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the managers:
