RE: H.R. No. 55
H.D. 1
Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say
Speaker, House of Representatives
Twenty-Fifth State Legislature
Regular Session of 2010
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committee on Hawaiian Affairs, to which was referred H.R. No. 55 entitled:
"HOUSE RESOLUTION SUPPORTING H.R. 3680 AND S. 1732 TO AMEND THE PUBLIC HEALTH SERVICE ACT TO PROVIDE FOR HEALTH DATA REGARDING NATIVE HAWAIIANS AND OTHER PACIFIC ISLANDERS,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose of this resolution is to improve the evaluation of healthcare needs of native Hawaiians and other Pacific Islanders by expressing the Legislature's support for the passage in Congress of H.R. 3680 and S. 1732, amending the federal Public Health Service Act to provide for health data regarding native Hawaiians and other Pacific Islanders.
The Association of Hawaiian Civic Clubs and Hawaii Youth Services Network testified in support of this resolution.
Your Committee has amended this resolution by capitalizing the word "native" in all references to "native Hawaiian", as suggested by a testifier, with the intent that the data obtained will assist all Native Hawaiians, regardless of blood quantum.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Hawaiian Affairs that is attached to this report, your Committee concurs with the intent and purpose of H.R. No. 55, as amended herein, and recommends that it be referred to the Committee on Tourism, Culture, & International Affairs in the form attached hereto as H.R. No. 55, H.D. 1.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Hawaiian Affairs,
