RE: S.C.R. No. 4

S.D. 1

H.D. 1

Honorable Scott K. Saiki

Speaker, House of Representatives

Thirty-Second State Legislature

Regular Session of 2023

State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committees on Consumer Protection & Commerce and Legislative Management, to which was referred S.C.R. No. 4, S.D. 1, entitled:

"SENATE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION REQUESTING THE AUDITOR TO CONDUCT A SUNRISE REVIEW OF THE REGULATION AND LICENSURE OF ASSOCIATE PHYSICIANS,"

beg leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this measure is to request that the Legislative Reference Bureau conduct an analysis of the regulation and licensure of Associate Physicians

The Hawaii Medical Board testified in support. The office of the Auditor offered comments.

Your Committees amended this measure by changing the Office of the Auditor to the Legislative Reference Bureau. Your committees also deleted references to section 26H-6 Hawaii Revised Statues related to conducting a Sunrise Analysis as the measure no longer requests such analysis.

As affirmed by the records of votes of the members of your Committees on Consumer Protection & Commerce and Legislative Management that are attached to this report, your Committees concur with the intent and purpose of S.C.R. No. 4, S.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommend that it be referred to your Committee on Finance, in the form attached hereto as S.C.R. No. 4, S.D. 1, H.D. 1.

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committees on Consumer Protection & Commerce and Legislative Management,

____________________________ NADINE K. NAKAMURA, Chair
