Twenty-Sixth State Legislature
Regular Session of 2011
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committee on Health, to which was referred H.B. No. 594 entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO HEALTH,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose of this bill is to provide for continuing healthcare in Hawaii's communities by appropriating moneys to the Department of Human Services (DHS) to match the federal disproportionate share hospital funds appropriated to the State for Medicaid payments to health care providers as required for the disbursement of the federal moneys.
The Healthcare Association of Hawaii, The Queen's Medical Center, Kaiser Permanente, and a concerned individual testified in support this bill. DHS offered comments.
Your Committee has amended this bill by:
(1) Changing the appropriation amount from $8,654,621 to $9,800,000; and
(2) Making technical, non substantive amendments for clarity, consistency, and style.
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. 594, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 594, H.D. 1, and be referred to the Committee on Finance.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Health,
