RE:   H.B. No. 1130

      H.D. 1

 

 

 

 

Honorable Joseph M. Souki

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-Seventh State Legislature

Regular Session of 2013

State of Hawaii

 

Sir:

 

     Your Committee on Health, to which was referred H.B. No. 1130 entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO THE HAWAII HEALTH SYSTEMS CORPORATION,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose of this measure is to improve accountability in the health care system, support clear and consistent roles for all regional systems, and create a more balanced multi-board tiered system by replacing the membership of the five regional chief executive officers on the Hawaii Health Systems Corporation (HHSC) Board of Directors with community members who are appointed by their respective county mayors.

 

     Two individuals supported this measure.  The Hawaii Government Employees Association supported the intent of this measure.  HHSC opposed this measure.  The Department of Budget and Finance commented on this measure.

 

     Your Committee has amended this measure by:

 

(1)  Making the five regional chief executive officers on the HHSC Board of Directors, ex officio, nonvoting members instead of ex officio, voting members;

 

(2)  Changing the appointing authority of the five new regional system board members who serve on the HHSC Board of Directors, from the respective county mayors to the governor;

 

(3)  Emphasizing the statewide role of the HHSC in the purpose section; and

 

(4)  Making technical, nonsubstantive amendments for clarity, consistency, and style.

 

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Health that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 1130, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 1130, H.D. 1, and be placed on the calendar for Third Reading.

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Health,
