Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say

Speaker, House of Representatives

State of Hawaii

 

Sirs:

 

     Your Committee on Conference on the disagreeing vote of the Senate to the amendments proposed by the House of Representatives in S.B. No. 2821, H.D. 3, entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO MORTALITY REVIEW OF DEATHS OF PERSONS WITH DEVELOPMENTAL OR INTELLECTUAL DISABILITIES,"

 

having met, and after full and free discussion, has agreed to recommend and does recommend to the respective Houses the final passage of this bill in an amended form.

 

     The purpose of this measure is to reduce the incidence of preventable deaths to persons with developmental or intellectual disabilities by allowing the Department of Health to conduct multidisciplinary and multiagency mortality reviews of the death of such persons and authorizing the disclosure of information relevant to the review while mandating confidentiality for certain information obtained.

 

     Your Committee on Conference finds that efforts to identify and address issues of care that are related to the death of an individual with a developmental or intellectual disability are critical to reducing preventable deaths.

 

     Your Committee on Conference has amended this measure by changing the effective date to upon approval.

 

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the managers of your Committee on Conference that is attached to this report, your Committee on Conference is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 2821, H.D. 3, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Final Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 2821, H.D. 3, C.D. 1.

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the managers:
