HI SCR64

Request that the Governor report to the Legislature on the status of the Hawaii Health Authority and future plans for the Authority, including any proposed legislation, no later than twenty days prior to the 2020 Regular Session.

Hawaii Health Authority was established in 2009 under Hawaii Revised Statutes Chapter 322H as an autonomous body within the Department of Budget and Finance to develop comprehensive planning for universal health care in Hawaii.

The Authority has been dormant since 2014, with no funding proposed by the Administration since 2014 and board member terms expired on June 30, 2015.

New board members have not been appointed since 2015 due to lack of funding to support the Hawaii Health Authority.

Certified copies of the resolution to be transmitted to the Governor and Director of Finance.
