STAND. COM. REP. NO. 840
Honolulu, Hawaii
, 2013
RE: H.B. No. 529
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 Consumer Protection & Commerce, to which was referred H.B. No. 529, H.D. 1, entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO CARE HOMES,"
begs leave to report as follows:
Your Committee finds that Act 266, Session Laws of Hawaii 2012, required some, but not all, residential care homes to maintain liability insurance. By requiring all care home operators to maintain sufficient liability insurance, this measure will protect both the operator and care home residents in the event of accidents or other adverse events that may occur in the delivery of care.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Consumer Protection & Commerce that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 529, H.D. 1, and recommends that it pass Third Reading.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Consumer Protection & Commerce,
