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. 2502, S.D. 2, H.D. 1, entitled:

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 continue to provide necessary dental care to eligible elderly, disabled, or medically compromised individuals by appropriating funds for the continued implementation of the Donated Dental Services program in Hawaii.

Your Committee on Conference has amended this measure by changing the effective date to July 1, 2006, and by replacing the blank appropriation with a dollar amount.

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. 2502, S.D. 2, H.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Final Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 2502, S.D. 2, H.D. 1, C.D. 1.
