Sir:

Your Committee on Health, to which was referred H.B. No. 381 entitled:

The purpose of this measure is to specify certain medical conditions that make an individual eligible for the Department of Health's services for persons with developmental or intellectual disabilities.

After holding an initial hearing on this measure, your Committee made available for public review a proposed draft of H.B. No. 381, H.D. 1 (Proposed Draft). The Proposed Draft requires the Fuel Tank Advisory Committee of the Department of Health to meet biannually.

The Department of the Navy, Department of Health, Honolulu Board of Water Supply, O‘ahu County Committee on Legislative Priorities of the Democratic Party of Hawai‘i, and Sierra Club of Hawai‘i testified in support of the Proposed Draft. The Chamber of Commerce Hawaii provided comments on the Proposed Draft.

Your Committee has amended this measure by adopting the Proposed Draft and changing its effective date to July 1, 2050, to promote further discussion.

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 H.B. No. 381, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 381, H.D. 1, and be referred to your Committee on Consumer Protection & Commerce.

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Health,
