Honorable Shan S. Tsutsui
President of the Senate

Sirs:
Your Committee on Conference on the disagreeing vote of the House of Representatives to the amendments proposed by the Senate in H.B. No. 2513, H.D. 1, S.D. 2, entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO EDUCATION,"
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 provide the Department of Education with greater flexibility to administer and implement the statewide school health services program by repealing or modifying specified operational requirements established for a 1970 pilot project for health services.
Your Committee on Conference has amended this measure by:
(1) Reverting back to established statutory language that:
(A) Requires that the administration of medication be done with the approval of the Department of Health rather than be based on a nursing assessment and consultation with the Department of Health; and
(B) Requires that the medication be necessary for the student's attendance at school, rather than the student's readiness to learn,
in order for the medications to be administered by a school health aide;
(2) Repealing, rather than modifying, the requirement that the Superintendent of Education adopt rules governing the statewide school health services program;
(3) Deleting the savings clause; and
(4) Making technical, nonsubstantive amendments for consistency.
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. 2513, H.D. 1, S.D. 2, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Final Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 2513, H.D. 1, S.D. 2, C.D. 1.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the managers:
