Sir:
Your Committee on Conference on the disagreeing vote of the House of Representatives to the amendments proposed by the Senate in H.B. No. 2045, H.D. 2, S.D. 1, entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO PERINATAL CARE,"
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 bill is to address Hawaii's current lack of facilities equipped to provide comprehensive prenatal, delivery, and postpartum care to women who have a history of methamphetamine and other substance abuse, including alcohol and tobacco, by creating a pilot perinatal clinic to:
(1) Facilitate the patient's transition from a troubled, pregnant woman to a coping, capable parent;
(2) Assess the safety of the home environment for the child; and
(3) Prevent outplacement and keep families together whenever possible.
Your Committee on Conference has amended this bill by, among other things:
(1) Inserting a sunset date of June 30, 2009;
(2) Inserting an appropriation amount of $400,000;
(3) Changing the effective date to July 1, 2006; and
(4) Making technical, nonsubstantive changes for clarity, consistency, and style.
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 H.B. No. 2045, H.D. 2, S.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Final Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 2045, H.D. 2, S.D. 1, C.D. 1.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the managers:
