Honorable Colleen Hanabusa

Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-Fifth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2009

State of Hawaii

 

Madam and 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. 113, H.D. 1, entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO DENTISTS,"

 

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 protect dental patients by authorizing the Board of Dental Examiners to revoke or suspend the license of a dentist for false or misleading advertising.

 

     Your Committee on Conference finds that this measure will strengthen the current statutes regarding sanctions for the false or misleading advertising of licensed dentists who advertise a specialty practice without possessing the appropriate credentials.

 

     Your Committee on Conference has amended this measure by inserting an "upon approval" effective date.

 

     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. 113, H.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Final Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 113, H.D. 1, C.D. 1.

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the managers:

 

ON THE PART OF THE HOUSE

 

ON THE PART OF THE SENATE
