RE: H.B. No. 1421
H.D. 1
Honorable Scott K. Saiki
Speaker, House of Representatives
Thirtieth State Legislature
Regular Session of 2019
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committee on Health, to which was referred H.B. No. 1421 entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO THE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH BUDGET,"
begs leave to report as follows:
Your Committee has amended this measure by:
(1) Changing the effective date to July 1, 2050, to promote further discussion; and
(2) Making a nonsubstantive, technical amendment for the purpose of clarity and consistency.
Your Committee on Health notes that this measure as written only includes additional funding for the Hawaii Health Systems Corporation, specifically operating funds for Kahuku Hospital (HTH211) and the operating costs for Hawaii Health Systems Corporation-Regions (HTH212) and does not include the base budgetary needs for the Department.
Should your Committee on Finance deliberate further on this measure, your Committee on Health respectfully requests that your Committee on Finance consider the amounts appropriated in the Executive Budget that was transmitted to the Legislature on December 17, 2018. Your Committee on Health further requests that your Committee on Finance consider including both the base budgetary needs and any additional add-ons for HHSC in one measure.
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. 1421, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 1421, H.D. 1, and be referred to your Committee on Finance.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Health,
