RE: H.B. No. 1713
H.D. 1
Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say
Speaker, House of Representatives
Twenty-Sixth State Legislature
Regular Session of 2012
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committee on Human Services, to which was referred H.B. No. 1713 entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO MEDICAID,"
begs leave to report as follows:
(1) Accept applications for any Medicaid program in written form and as an electronic record submitted through an integrated electronic system developed and maintained by the Department of Human Services no later than January 1, 2014; and
(2) Convert any written Medicaid application submitted after December 31, 2013 to an electronic record and to incorporate the electronic record into the integrated electronic system.
A concerned individual supported the measure. The Department of Human Services opposed the measure.
Your Committee has amended this measure by:
(1) Deleting the requirement that the Department of Human Services convert any written Medicaid application submitted after December 31, 2013 to an electronic record and to incorporate the electronic record into the integrated electronic system;
(2) Authorizing, instead of requiring, the Department of Human Services to accept Medicaid applications in written or electronic form and seek matching federal funds, grants, and private funds to comply with requirements relating to electronic Medicaid records;
(3) Changing the effective date to July 1, 2050, to promote further discussion; and
(4) Making technical, nonsubstantive amendments for clarity, consistency, and style.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Human Services that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 1713, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 1713, H.D. 1, and be referred to the Committee on Finance.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Human Services,
