Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-Fourth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2007

State of Hawaii

 

Sir:

 

     Your Committees on Health and Human Services & Housing, to which was referred H.R. No. 68 entitled:

 

"HOUSE RESOLUTION REQUESTING THE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH TO EVALUATE THE VISITING HOURS PRACTICES OF HAWAII'S ADULT RESIDENTIAL CARE HOMES,"

 

beg leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose of this resolution is to ensure access to residents in Hawaii's adult residential care homes (ARCH) by their family by requesting the Department of Health (DOH) to evaluate the visiting hours practices of ARCHs.

 

     Your Committees have amended this resolution by replacing the contents of this measure with language that requests DOH to provide cardiopulmonary resuscitation training to Hawaii's education professionals.  Accordingly, the title of this resolution has been changed to read:  "REQUESTING THE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH TO PROVIDE CARDIOPULMONARY RESUSCITATION TRAINING TO ALL EDUCATION PROFESSIONALS IN THE STATE OF HAWAII."

 

     Prior notice of the changes made to this resolution was provided to the public and testimony was received regarding its new topic.

 

     Family Voices of Hawaii supported this resolution.  The Department of Education submitted comments.

 

     As affirmed by the records of votes of the members of your Committees on Health and Human Services & Housing that are attached to this report, your Committees concur with the intent and purpose of H.R. No. 68, as amended herein, and recommend that it be referred to the Committees on Education and Labor & Public Employment, in the form attached hereto as H.R. No. 68, H.D. 1.

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committees on Health and Human Services & Housing,
