Honorable Norman Mizuguchi
President of the Senate
Twentieth State Legislature
Regular Session of 1999
State of Hawaii

Sir:

     Your Committee on Health and Human Services, to which was
referred H.B. No. 1594, H.D. 1, entitled: 

     "A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO THE ISSUANCE OF SPECIAL
     PURPOSE REVENUE BONDS FOR AN INTERGENERATIONAL CARE CENTER
     AT EWA VILLAGES,"

begs leave to report as follows:

     The purpose of this measure is to authorize the issuance of
special purpose revenue bonds for an intergenerational care
center at Ewa Villages.

     Your Committee received testimony in support of this measure
from the Department of Budget and Finance and EV Community
Development Corporation.

     Your Committee finds that the Ewa Villages Intergenerational
Care Center is a private nonprofit organization that seeks to
provide a continuum of health care services to frail elderly, and
medically fragile infants and children.  Your Committee further
finds and declares that the issuance of special purpose revenue
bonds is in the public interest and for the public health,
safety, and general welfare of the State.

     Your Committee has amended this measure to clarify that the
project is at Kulana Malama, an intergenerational care center, of
the EV Community Development Corporation.
