STAND. COM. REP. NO. 2022

 

Honolulu, Hawaii

                  

 

RE:    S.B. No. 2308

       S.D. 1

 

 

 

Honorable Shan S. Tsutsui

President of the Senate

Twenty-Sixth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2012

State of Hawaii

 

Sir:

 

     Your Committee on Human Services, to which was referred S.B. No. 2308 entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO LONG TERM CARE,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose and intent of this measure is to request and appropriate funds for the Executive Office on Aging of the Department of Health to conduct an education and awareness campaign on long-term care and have the campaign evaluated.

 

     Your Committee received testimony in support of this measure from the Executive Office on Aging of the Department of Health; AARP; Child and Family Service; Healthcare Association of Hawaii; the ILWU Local 142; the National Association of Insurance and Financial Advisors; the Policy Advisory Board for Elder Affairs; and three individuals.

 

     Your Committee finds that this proposal is based on a recommendation of the Hawaii Long-Term Care Commission.  The Commission recommends an education and awareness campaign on long-term care based on its research indicating that the public misunderstands much of the available information regarding the financing of long-term care.

 

     Your Committee has amended this measure by:

 

     (1)  Delaying the date by which the Executive Office on Aging shall submit its report to the Legislature no later than twenty days prior to the convening of the Regular Session of 2014; and

 

     (2)  Making technical, nonsubstantive amendments for the purposes of clarity and consistency.

 

     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 S.B. No. 2308, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 2308, S.D. 1, and be referred to the Committee on Ways and Means.

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Human Services,
