  • Testimony of the Board of Nursing Before the House Committee On
    Testimony of the Board of Nursing Before the House Committee on Health, Human Services & Homelessness Friday, February 5, 2021 8:30 a.m. Via Videoconference On the following measure: H.B. 576, RELATING TO HEALTH CARE Chair Yamane and Members of the Committee: My name is Lee Ann Teshima, and I am the Executive Officer of the Board of Nursing (Board). The Board supports this bill to the extent that it authorizes advanced practice registered nurses (APRNs) to perform certain abortions, and it also requests amendments. The Board defers to the Hawaii Medical Board regarding the scope of practice for licensed physician assistants. The purpose of this bill is to authorize licensed physician assistants and advanced practice registered nurses to perform certain abortions. The Board supports expanding the APRN scope of practice in this manner. APRNs are recognized as primary care providers who may practice independently based on their practice specialty, including women’s health or as a certified nurse midwife. An APRN’s education and training include, but are not limited to, a graduate- level degree in nursing and national certification that is specific to the APRN’s practice specialty, in accordance with nationally recognized standards of practice. For the Committee’s information, the American Academy of Nurse Practitioners and the Guttmacher Institute both report that California, Colorado, Massachusetts, Maine, Montana, New Hampshire, Virginia, Vermont, and West Virginia allow certain advanced practice clinicians to independently provide medication or aspiration abortions. The Board notes that amending Hawaii Revised Statutes (HRS) chapter 453 will necessitate amending HRS chapter 457 (Nurses), to avoid uncertainty about which chapter controls and to ensure effective implementation of the proposed law.

  • The Basics: Intro to the Hawaii State Legislature
    THE BASICS: INTRODUCTION TO THE HAWAII STATE LEGISLATURE & THE LEGISLATIVE PROCESS Welcome to the Public Access Room’s (PAR’s) “Introduction to the Hawaii State Legislature & the Legislative Process” tutorial. We’ll talk about the three branches of government, the State legislature, and how laws are created. 1 Public Access Room (PAR) • Help, information and training at no charge • Non-partisan • Lots of resources! • Guidance on process • Computers with internet • Wireless access & recharge station • Copies of testimony • Helpful handouts • Workshops and tutorials First off, let us tell you about our office. The Public Access Room, also known as “PAR”, is non-partisan (we’re not associated with any political party), and we are concerned with the process of how bills become laws, and never in policy considerations (we’ll help everyone – no matter what their position on an issue). There is never a fee for our services – we’re supported by your tax dollars. When the capitol is open to the public, you can come to PAR to use one of the six public computers or the printer, have a small meeting, get copies of your testimony, or watch a hearing remotely. We have tables for you to work on your laptop (there’s free wi-fi throughout the building) or recharge your devices. Or perhaps just sit and relax a while. We can answer your questions and point you to resources. We also offer workshops and tutorials so you can learn more. The capitol is currently closed to the public due to COVID-19 concerns.

  • HB-1286 Submitted On: 2/5/2021 4:25:21 PM Testimony for PDP on 2/9/2021 8:30:00 AM Submitted by Organization Testifier Position
    HB-1286 Submitted on: 2/5/2021 4:25:21 PM Testimony for PDP on 2/9/2021 8:30:00 AM Testifier Present at Submitted By Organization Position Hearing James E Raymond Individual Oppose No Comments: As a retired Deputy Attorney General, I can tell you this bill has a number of flaws, primarily in the form of ambiguities and unanticipated consequences. But more importantly, it forces Kauai to follow the unSafe Travels program that has already been found to cause significant problems for that island -- why in the world would you want to spoil the only safe harbor in Hawaii? This bill would also remove the option for any other Mayor that decides to opt out of the unSafe Travels program. The bill represents the worst kind of special interest micro- managing by the legislature and ruins the ability of the Governor to react quickly and decisively to the pandemic - please kill this bill. Aloha, Please do not approve HB 1286, a bill that seeks to impose a single set of travel rules on a county that has successfully kept its Covid rates low, and has the data to show that their brief participation in the Safe Travels pre-test out of quarantine program greatly increased their case rate. To pass this bill would undermine the clear will of the majority of Kauai voters as expressed via their elected leaders. Kauai followed the rules and asked permission from the Governor for separated protocols. He did not approve the post test system they wanted, but did approve the county withdrawing from the "Safe Travels" program, and they chose this.

  • Guide to Government in Hawaii
    STATE GOVERNMENT http://hawaii.gov The Hawaiian Islands were discovered by ancient Polynesians more than fourteen centuries ago, and by the first European, Captain James Cook, in 1778. The islands were divided and ruled by various chiefs until they were united at the end of the 18th century by Kamehameha the Great who established the kingdom of Hawaii. The kingdom was an absolute monarchy until 1840 when King Kamehameha III signed the first written constitution, changing the government of Hawaii to a constitutional monarchy. With successive constitutions, the last monarch, Queen Liliuokalani, had limited political powers. Hawaii became a republic on July 4, 1894, a territory of the United States on June 14, 1900, and the 50th state on August 21, 1959. The annexation, or transfer of sovereignty, of Hawaii to the United States took place on August 12, 1898, when Harold M. Sewell, Minister of the United States to the Republic of Hawaii, presented Sanford B. Dole, President of the Republic of Hawaii, a certified copy of a Joint Resolution of the United States Congress (Public Resolution No. 51, 55th Congress, 2nd Session), entitled “Joint Resolution to Provide for Annexing the Hawaiian Islands to the United States.” The Joint Resolution had been approved by President William McKinley on July 7, 1898. Hawaii became a territory under the Organic Act, “An Act to Provide a Government for the Territory of Hawaii” (chapter 339, 31 Stat. 141), which was approved on April 30, 1900, and took effect June 14, 1900. Statehood was attained in 1959 when Congress passed Senate Bill 50 on March 12, 1959.
