STAND. COM. REP. NO. 76

 

Honolulu, Hawaii

                  

 

RE:    S.B. No. 54

       S.D. 1

 

 

 

Honorable Donna Mercado Kim

President of the Senate

Twenty-Seventh State Legislature

Regular Session of 2013

State of Hawaii

 

Madam:

 

     Your Committees on Human Services and Health, to which was referred S.B. No. 54 entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO AGING,"

 

beg leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose and intent of this measure is to allow the Policy Advisory Board for Elder Affairs to grant members lifetime membership, which includes all the rights and privileges of a regular member, upon approval by all regular members of the Board.

 

     Your Committees received testimony in support of this measure from the County of Hawaii Office of Aging and one individual.  Your Committees received comments on this measure from the Executive Office on Aging and the International Longshore and Warehouse Union Local 142.

 

     Your Committees find that current lifetime non ex officio members of the Policy Advisory Board for Elder Affairs are not granted all of the privileges of regular membership, including the right to vote.  These lifetime members are honored and respected members of the aging community and deserve to be treated as full members of the Board.

 

     Your Committees have amended this measure by:

 

     (1)  Clarifying the procedures of the Policy Advisory Board for Elder Affairs to grant lifetime membership to non ex officio members; and

 

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

 

     As affirmed by the records of votes of the members of your Committees on Human Services and Health that are attached to this report, your Committees are in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 54, as amended herein, and recommend that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 54, S.D. 1, and be placed on the calendar for Third Reading.

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committees on Human Services and Health,
