HOUSE RESOLUTION
URGING THE PRESIDENT of the UNITED STATES and the UNITED STATES CONGRESS TO SUPPORT The AUTHORIZATION OF THE ISSUANCE OF GENERAL OBLIGATION BONDS FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF A LONG-TERM CARE FACILITY FOR VETERANS CONTINGENT UPON THE RECEIPT OF FEDERAL FUNDS.
WHEREAS, Hawaii's acute shortage of long-term care beds has the potential to directly impact the growing number of our veterans who are reaching a point in their lives where long-term care may become necessary; and
WHEREAS, the shortage of long-term care facilities will be felt in communities across Hawaii; and
WHEREAS, veterans have stood up for America in times of need, thereby earning the highest degree of respect and support the nation is able to give; and
WHEREAS, the men and women who have served our country are owed a special duty; and
WHEREAS, veterans of the armed services deserve safety, comfort, and dignified care in their later years; and
WHEREAS, providing safe and reliable care falls squarely within our commitment as a state and a nation; now, therefore,
BE IT RESOLVED by the House of Representatives of
the Twenty-seventh Legislature of the State of Hawaii, Regular Session of 2014,
that the President of the United States and the United States Congress are
urged to support House Bill No. 2074, Regular Session of 2014, which authorizes
the issuance of general obligation bonds for the construction of a long-term
care facility for veterans contingent upon the receipt of federal funds; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that certified copies of this Resolution be
transmitted to the President of the United States, President Pro Tempore of the
United States Senate, and Speaker of the House of the United States House of
Representatives.
