STAND. COM. REP. NO. 2751

Honolulu, Hawaii

RE: S.B. No. 2502

S.D. 2

 

 

Honorable Robert Bunda

President of the Senate

Twenty-Third State Legislature

Regular Session of 2006

State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committee on Ways and Means, to which was referred S.B. No. 2502, S.D. 1, entitled:

"A BILL FOR AN ACT MAKING AN APPROPRIATION FOR DONATED DENTAL SERVICES,"

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this measure is to appropriate funds to continue the donated dental services program.

Your Committee finds that the donated dental services program provides free, comprehensive dental treatment to people who are elderly, disabled, or medically compromised and need extensive dental treatment. The program utilizes volunteer dentists who use their offices and donate dental care as well as volunteer dental laboratories that donate dental supplies. Your Committee finds that the program warrants continued financial support.

Your Committee has amended this measure by changing the appropriation to an unspecified amount, and by making technical nonsubstantative changes for the purposes of clarity and style.

As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Ways and Means that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 2502, S.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Third Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 2502, S.D. 2.

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Ways and Means,
