Confidentiality in Mediation: FloridaSenate Bill 1970' Bill Number: Florida Senate Bill 1970 Summary: This bill creates the Mediation Confidentiality and Privilege Act. It provides for standardized proceedings, so that both court-ordered and non court-ordered mediation are entitled to the same confidentiality status. Status: Signed by Governor, June 10, 2004 1. Introduction Confidentiality in mediation communications is an issue of vital importance to all those involved. The assurance of confidentiality in mediation proceedings promotes openness and candor between the parties. Often, it is openness that will lead parties to a resolution of a dispute. With the passage of Senate Bill 1970 the Florida legislature has recognized the importance that confidentiality protections play in the encouragement of successful mediations.

  • Prayer Practices
    Floor Action 5-145 Prayer Practices Legislatures operate with a certain element of pomp, ceremony and procedure that flavor the institution with a unique air of tradition and theatre. The mystique of the opening ceremonies and rituals help to bring order and dignity to the proceedings. One of these opening ceremonies is the offering of a prayer. Use of legislative prayer. The practice of opening legislative sessions with prayer is long- standing. The custom draws its roots from both houses of the British Parliament, which, according to noted parliamentarian Luther Cushing, from time ”immemorial” began each day with a “reading of the prayers.” In the United States, this custom has continued without interruption at the federal level since the first Congress under the Constitution (1789) and for more than a century in many states. Almost all state legislatures still use an opening prayer as part of their tradition and procedure (see table 02-5.50). In the Massachusetts Senate, a prayer is offered at the beginning of floor sessions for special occasions. Although the use of an opening prayer is standard practice, the timing of when the prayer occurs varies (see table 02-5.51). In the majority of legislative bodies, the prayer is offered after the floor session is called to order, but before the opening roll call is taken. Prayers sometimes are given before floor sessions are officially called to order; this is true in the Colorado House, Nebraska Senate and Ohio House. Many chambers vary on who delivers the prayer. Forty-seven chambers allow people other than the designated legislative chaplain or a visiting chaplain to offer the opening prayer (see table 02-5.52).

Beretania St., Room 226 Honolulu, HI 96813 RE: ATA SUPPORT FOR SENATE BILL 970 On behalf of the American Telemedicine Association (ATA) and the over 400 organizations we represent, I am writing to express our support for Senate Bill 970, which clarifies that a patient-practitioner relationship may be established during a telehealth appointment. The ATA is the only national organization completely focused on advancing telehealth. We are committed to ensuring that everyone has access to safe, affordable, and high-quality care whenever and wherever they need it. This empowers the health care system to provide services to millions more patients every year in an efficacious manner. The ATA represents a broad and inclusive coalition of technology solution providers and payers, as well as partner organizations and alliances, working to advance industry adoption of telehealth, promote responsible policy, advocate for government and market normalization, and provide education and resources to help integrate virtual care into emerging, value-based modalities. Senate Bill 970 serves as an important and rational expansion of Hawaii’s state telehealth policy.

  • 2020 Election Recap
    2020 Election Recap Below NACCHO summarizes election results and changes expected for 2021. Democrats will continue to lead the House of Representatives…but with a smaller majority. This means that many of the key committees for public health will continue to be chaired by the same members, with notable exceptions of the Appropriations Committee, where Chair Nita Lowey (D-NY) did not run for reelection; the Agriculture Committee, which has some jurisdiction around food safety and nutrition, whose Chair, Colin Peterson (D-MN) lost, as well as the Ranking Member for the Energy and Commerce Committee, Rep. Greg Walden, (R-OR) who did not run for reelection. After the 117th Congress convenes in January, internal leadership elections will determine who heads these and other committees. The following new Representatives and Senators are confirmed as of January 7. House of Representatives Note: All House of Representative seats were up for re-election.

  • Legislative Oversight in Hawaii
    Legislative Oversight in Hawaii Capacity and Usage Assessment Oversight through Analytic Bureaucracies: Moderate Oversight through the Appropriations Process: Moderate Oversight through Committees: High Oversight through Administrative Rule Review: Minimal Oversight through Advice and Consent: Limited Oversight through Monitoring Contracts: Moderate Judgment of Overall Institutional Capacity for Oversight: High Judgment of Overall Use of Institutional Capacity for Oversight: High Summary Assessment Hawaii has multiple analytic support agencies that aid the legislature with its oversight responsibilities. The system stresses transparency and public accessibility of audit reports. Audit reports are used regularly in committee hearings. Sunrise and sunset reviews provide a mechanism for legislators to influence state agencies. Analytic bureaucracies aid in these reviews. Audits also provide a mechanism to oversee contracts despite the fact that the executive branch is primarily empowered1 to review and monitor contracts. Major Strengths Audit reports are well publicized and summaries are prepared with the intent to promote public understanding and accessibility to Hawaii’s citizens. The auditor’s office provides one- page follow-up reports that describe actions taken in response to its reports. Moreover, the audit reports themselves address whether the legislature and agencies acted on audit recommendations. Audits provide a mechanism that the legislature uses to oversee contracts even though the executive branch is solely empowered to monitor contracts. Audits are used in making budget decisions and standing committees attempt to pass legislation based on audit findings. Challenges 1 http://spo.hawaii.gov/procurement-wizard/manual/contract-management/, accessed 9/5/18. The governor has strong appointment powers and can thus exert a lot of control over state government.
