       H.D. 1

Honorable Shan S. Tsutsui

President of the Senate

Twenty-Sixth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2012

State of Hawaii

 

Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-Sixth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2012

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. 2827, S.D. 1, H.D. 1, entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO THE TRAUMA SYSTEM SPECIAL FUND,"

 

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 add to the uses of the monies in the trauma system special fund the costs to staff, operate, and continue the services of the injury prevention program.

 

     Your Committee on Conference finds that the injury prevention program is an essential facet of the State's comprehensive trauma system and that the prevention program is the most cost-effective method to reduce the costs associated with injury care.  Your Committee on Conference also finds that the injury prevention program is largely funded through federal monies that have been considerably reduced.  With more state funding, the injury prevention program will be allowed increased security and be better able to fulfill its purposes to benefit all residents of the State.

 

     Your Committee on Conference has amended this measure by changing the effective date to July 1, 2012. 

 

     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. 2827, S.D. 1, H.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Final Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 2827, S.D. 1, H.D. 1, C.D. 1.

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the managers:

 

ON THE PART OF THE HOUSE

ON THE PART OF THE SENATE
