STAND. COM. REP. NO. 2200
Honolulu, Hawaii
RE: S.B. No. 2742
Honorable Colleen Hanabusa
President of the Senate
Twenty-Fourth State Legislature
Regular Session of 2008
State of Hawaii
Madam:
Your Committee on Health, to which was referred S.B. No. 2742 entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT AUTHORIZING THE ISSUANCE OF GENERAL OBLIGATION BONDS AND MAKING AN APPROPRIATION FOR THE MAUI REGION OF THE HAWAII HEALTH SYSTEMS CORPORATION,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose of this measure is to ensure the continued provision of quality health care services at Maui Memorial Medical Center by authorizing the issuance of general obligation bonds in the amount of $10,000,000 for the modernization of Maui Memorial Medical Center, including a new obstetrics and gynecology wing, additional operating rooms, and the relocation of psychiatric units.
Your Committee received testimony in support of this measure from Maui Memorial Medical Center.
Your Committee finds that the Maui Health Initiative Task Force reported to the Legislature the need for modernization of health care facilities at Maui Memorial Medical Center. This modernization will ensure the Maui community has continued access to up-to-date technology systems and facilities and culturally sensitive health care services.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Health that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 2742 and recommends that it pass Second Reading and be referred to the Committee on Ways and Means.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Health,
