The Honolulu Police Department will provide a presentation on the Homeless Outreach and Navigation for the Unsheltered (HONU) Project, which is tentatively scheduled to open next month at Hawaii’s Plantation Village. “New initiatives like the HONU Project are vital,” said Councilmember Menor. “Homelessness requires the cooperation of all branches of government together with community groups, businesses, church groups, and volunteers.” Councilmember Elefante added, “We are hopeful the HONU Project serves as a creative and innovative solution to address our homeless challenges.” State Homeless Coordinator Scott Morishige and Executive Director Marc Alexander, City Office of Housing, will also give a presentation on coordinated State/City efforts. A panel discussion on various upcoming efforts to address homelessness in Waipahu will follow. Panelists include homeless service providers, State and City officials and representatives from the non-profit community.

The Twenty-Sixth Legislature Regular Session of 20 II HOUSE OF
The Twenty-Sixth Legislature Regular Session of20II HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES Committee on Health Rep. Ryan 1. Yamane, Chair Rep. Dee Morikawa, Vice Chair State Capitol, Conference Room 329 Tuesday, March 22, 2011; 9:00 a.m. STATEMENT OF THE ILWU LOCAL 142 ON S.B.1086, SD1 RELATING TO CONSUMER INFORMATION The ILWU Local 142 strongly supports S.B. 1086, SD1, which requires sliced, sandwich-style bread products that have been baked and then frozen to be labeled "previously frozen" and prohibits bread that has been frozen to be labeled or advertised as "fresh." The II.WU represents almost 300 members who work at Love's Bakery in production, driver-sales, office clerical work, and the thrift stores. Many ofthem have worked at the bakery for many years under various owners. Today, the company is owned and managed by a local team that invested its own money to keep this manufacturing company viable. For 160 years, Love's Bakery has put fresh sandwich bread on our table. It was only in the last decade that previously frozen bread took over a greater share ofthe market. However, the consumer was never informed that the previously frozen bread was baked on the mainland, then frozen and later thawed before sale. The consumer did not have the information needed to make an informed choice. This lack ofinformation has given previously frozen bread an unfair advantage over fresh bread. S.B. 1086, SDI will require that packaging ofpreviously frozen and thawed sliced, sandwich-style bread be imprinted with the words "previously frozen." With this information, consumers can ask their own questions, then make an informed decision about which bread to purchase.

DAVID Y. IGE PANKAJ BHANOT GOVERNOR DIRECTOR CATHY BETTS DEPUTY DIRECTOR STATE OF HAWAII DEPARTMENT OF HUMAN SERVICES P. O. Box 339 Honolulu, Hawaii 96808 February 13, 2018 TO: The Honorable John M. Mizuno, Chair House Committee on Health and Human Services The Honorable Aaron Ling Johanson, Chair House Committee on Labor and Public Employment FROM: Pankaj Bhanot, Director SUBJECT: HB 2204 - RELATING TO HUMAN SERVICES Hearing: Tuesday, February 13, 2018, 8:35 a.m. Conference Room 329, State Capitol DEPARTMENT’S POSITION: The Department of Human Services (DHS) supports the intent of this bill and provides comments. PURPOSE: The purpose of this bill is to establish a task force that shall develop a restructured welfare payment system; re-establishes the exit and retention bonus program to encourage welfare recipients to transition back into the workforce; and appropriates funds. The Financial Assistance Advisory Council (FAAC) was established in accordance with section 346-14.5, Hawaii Revised Statutes. The purpose of the FAAC is to render advice and information relating to the financial assistance programs. The proposed task force will be duplicative of what is already established in the Hawaii Revised Statutes. The department suggests that the committees consider utilizing the FAAC for this purpose, rather than establishing a task force. Regarding the exit and retention bonus program, in October 2006, DHS implemented the “Reward Works” initiative which included the exit and retention bonus payments. The bonuses were based on a family’s average number of employment hours per week. The Reward Works initiative ended February 1, 2012 because DHS did not have funds to fiscally sustain the exit and retention bonuses.

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.

BOX 259 HONOLULU, HAWAII 96809 PHONE NO: (808) 587-1540 FAX NO: (808) 587-1560 To: The Honorable Angus L.K. McKelvey, Chair; The Honorable Lisa Kitagawa, Vice Chair; and Members of the House Committee on Economic Development & Business From: Rona M. Suzuki, Director Department of Taxation Re: S.B. 2697, S.D. 1, Relating to Taxation of Real Estate Investment Trusts Date: Friday, March 13, 2020 Time: 9:45 A.M. Place: Conference Room 309, State Capitol The Department of Taxation (Department) appreciates the intent of S.B. 2697, S.D. 1, and provides the following comments. S.B. 2697, S.D. 1, repeals the dividends paid deduction that real estate investment trusts (REITs) are allowed by current law, except REITs for which 100 percent of the property owned is used to provide affordable housing in Hawaii. This will subject affected REITs’ income to the Hawaii corporate income tax in the same manner as other corporations. The measure is effective July 1, 2050 and applies to taxable years beginning after December 31, 2020. The bill sunsets on December 31, 2023. The Department of Business, Economic Development, and Tourism (DBEDT) is responsible for economic development, including the role of REITs. The Department of Taxation is responsible for administering the tax laws in a fair, consistent, and efficient manner. Therefore, the Department defers to DEBDT on the substantive merits of the bill.
