STAND. COM. REP. NO. 1233-14
Honolulu, Hawaii
, 2014
RE: H.C.R. No. 135
H.D. 1
Honorable Joseph M. Souki
Speaker, House of Representatives
Twenty-Seventh State Legislature
Regular Session of 2014
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committee on Health, to which was referred H.C.R. No. 135 entitled:
"HOUSE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION URGING THE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH TO REFRAIN FROM CHARGING LICENSING FEES TO HOME CARE AGENCIES,"
begs leave to report as follows:
Your Committee has amended this measure by:
(1) Amending its title from "HOUSE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION URGING THE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH TO REFRAIN FROM CHARGING LICENSING FEES TO HOME CARE AGENCIES" to "URGING THE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH TO CONSIDER THE CHARGING OF REASONABLE LICENSING FEES TO HEALTHCARE FACILITIES";
(2) Making the assessment of licensing fees applicable to healthcare facilities, rather than home care agencies, throughout this measure;
Should the House Committee on Finance deliberate on this measure, your Committee believes that in the determination of reasonable fees for healthcare facilities, consideration be given to the costs of operating a healthcare facility.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Health that is attached to this report, your Committee concurs with the intent and purpose of H.C.R. No. 135, as amended herein, and recommends that it be referred to the Committee on Finance in the form attached hereto as H.C.R. No. 135, H.D. 1.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Health,
