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. 609, H.D. 2, S.D. 2, entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO HEALTH,"

 

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 for the health care needs of the community by:

 

(1)  Authorizing Hawaii Health Systems Corporation to bring the Hawaii Medical Center-East facility under its governance through formal affiliation or acquisition; and

 

(2)  Appropriating funds to carry out the purpose of the measure, including the hiring or contracting of staff.

 

 

 

     Your Committee on Conference has amended this measure by:

 

(1)  Codifying the provisions in the measure into the Hawaii Revised Statutes, rather than as uncodified session law material;

 

(2)  Deleting the appropriation;

 

(3)  Changing the effective date to take effect upon its approval; and

 

(4)  Making technical, nonsubstantive amendments for clarity and style.

 

     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. 609, H.D. 2, S.D. 2, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Final Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 609, H.D. 2, S.D. 2, C.D. 1.
