Seeing none, we'll move on to the last bill on this agenda, Senate bill 2050 relating to chiropractic. This bill beginning 07/01/2028 allows chiropractic students enrolled in a qualified chiropractic college to engage in clinical practice as part of their college instruction. If directly supervised by qualified licensed chiropractor, requires the Hawaii Board of Chiropractic to adopt rules effective 12/31/2050. First, we have DCCA.

Hey, chair Garrett.

Oh, could you come to the podium, please?

Chair Garrett, vice chair, and members of the committee. My name is Nancy Nguyen, and I'm a executive officer for the Hawaii Board of Chiropractic, and we stand on our what's in testimony.

Okay. Don't be nervous. Okay. Up next, Hawaii State Chiropractic Association.

My name is doctor Dean Shivers. I stand in support of the testimony. I'm happy to answer any questions you have.

Thank you very much. Appreciate you being here. Is there anyone else in the room wishing to testify on this bill? Senate bill 2050 SD1. Seeing none, members, please know we have several dozen individuals testifying in support as well.

Members, any questions? Senate bill 2050 SD1. If not, I guess I'll start with the board of chiropractice, if you folks wouldn't mind coming up. Thank you for being here that you're in today. Can you confirm that do we currently have a chiropractic school in Hawaii?

Nope. Do you know of any plans to start one?

Not, we are aware of.

Not that you're aware of. Okay. Because I'm I guess and I'll ask you, Dean, to come up in a minute.

I guess I was just a little confused as to the rationale behind this bill if we don't have a school here with students in Hawaii, why their clinical practice, assuming they're attending a school on the continent, would need to take place in this state, and what kind of oversight the board might want to propagate in the rules to ensure that the students are supervised by licensed chiropractors. So just do you have some other general thoughts regarding what this bill is proposing to do?

Well, currently, statute doesn't allow anyone practice chiral practice here without the license. Sure. So with this amendment, they wanna give a student to practice chiropractic here. So I don't really know the rationale behind this proposal, but I I, somehow, the industry think this will benefit the, chiropractic industry in Hawaii.

Okay. And we'll ask them Yeah. For the the rationale in a second, but Okay. Is there, like, a a national accreditation standard that the board would consider, like, the gold standard to ensure that these students are going to qualified schools? Because right now, the definition of the bill is very vague.

It just says qualified school. What's that reference?

That's why we've asked to add certain requirement or can regulate it, you know, so that's one of the requirement we asked, and then that was added, you know. So we're gonna put that in the group. Okay. Once if this is going forward.

Okay. Thank you. Chiropractic Association, please. Yeah. So you you heard the line in questioning.

Just could you just explain again if there's no chiropractic school in Hawaii where the students are coming from and who and the nexus for the bill and what you hope to accomplish?

The main reason we wanna get this bill passed is to attract more chiropractors to the state of Hawaii because there's a shortage. And having chiropractors come and do their residency or internship here, they're more likely to stay on an island. And then also, residents of the state who went to the Mainland to become chiropractors are able to come back and treat the local population here.

Okay. But when we talk when we're saying students, are we talking about people who are currently in enrolled in a college on the continent?

So the chiropractic program is about three and a half years long. It's only that last little, like, six months period where they would be working. They need to be working in a chiropractor's office on the Mainland or here.

Okay. And then because of the way the law is currently written, they're not allowed to practice here, but that would be an option that you're trying to open up?

Yeah. I believe we're one of only two states, Us, New Jersey, who doesn't allow it right now.

Right. Okay. How do you assure that the local chiropractor here, the licensed qualified chiropractor, is in communication with the school that the student's enrolled in?

So they have to have an affiliation with the school. So the the school is what allows them. They have to meet certain requirements from the school.

Right.

To be able to have the student there. And then the student and the doctor both have to report back to the school about what's what's been going on.

Okay. Thank you for the explanation. Members, any other questions? Okay. Seeing none, we'll go right into decision making. Thank you.

Thank you. On the 210 agenda, members up first, Senate Bill 2320. SD1, HD1 relating to agriculture. This is the Kuleana AgTech Pathways program, universal support for this one. Chair's recommendation is to well, chair will note that it already has a defective date, so we will the recommendation is to pass this as is.

Any discussion? Seeing none, vice chair for the vote, please.

Thank you, chair voting on SB 2320 SD1 HD1. Chair's recommendation is to pass as is. Chair, vice chair vote. Vote for aye. Representative Evslin is excused.

Representative Kapela? Aye. Representative Kila? Aye. Representative La Chica?

Aye. Representative Olds?

Aye.

Representative Woodson is excused. Representative Muraoka is excused. Representative Souza. Aye. Thank you, chair.

Your recommendation is adopted.

Ok. Thank you, members. Next bill, Senate bill 2706 SD1 HD1 relating to workforce development. This is another Ag Workforce Development bill, universal support again. The prior committee did defective dates, so the chair's recommendation similarly is to pass this as is.

Any discussion? Seeing none, vice chair for the vote, please.

Thank you, chair. Voting on SB 2706 SD1 HD1. Chair's recommendation is to pass unamended. Chairman, vice chair both voting aye. Noting the excused absence of representative Evslin, representative and representative Woodson and representative Muraoka.

Are there any members present choosing to vote with reservations? Any members choosing to vote no. Thank you, chair. Your recommendation is adopted.

Ok. Thank you. Up next, Senate Bill 2138 HD1 relating to the Hawaii National Guard State Tuition Assistance Program. As noted earlier, we did hear the companion to this one, House bill 1751 earlier this session. It already has a defective date, strong support all around again.

So the chair's recommendation is to pass this as is. Any discussion? Seeing none, vice chair for the vote, please.

Thank you, chair. Voting on SB 2138 HD 1. Chair's recommendation is to pass as is. Are there any members present choosing to vote with reservations or choosing to vote no? Thank you, chair.

Your recommendation is adopted.

K. Thank you very much. Member, Senate Bill 2050 SD one. This is a chiropractic bill. I think in some ways, it seems to put the cart before the horse, but I do wanna keep this measure alive and let the Consumer Protection Committee, further vet this bill.

But I do wanna just put a little more specificity. I know the board of chiropractic said they could adopt a lot of this during rule making, but just to, ensure we're doing our due diligence due diligence as well. What I wanna do is specify when they said it's a qualified school. We're gonna require the chiropractic students who are engaged in clinical practice be enrolled in a doctor of chiropractic program that's accredited by the Council on Chiropractic Education, CCE.

I believe that's the gold standard that accredits most of these schools.

We do wanna also limit the students' clinical practice to structured clinical education programs that are affiliated with those institutions and approved by the Board of Chiropractic. We wanna make sure that the clinical training authority does not take effect until the accredited chiropractic educational program has received I'm sorry, with a accredited chiropractic program. Also wanna strengthen the supervision requirements. I know this kinda goes into some of the consumer protection areas, but I just wanna have them get this bill as fully as possible.

So do you wanna require direct supervision by a chiropractor that they have to be physically present and that they are responsible for patient care in total.

And also add a patient disclosure requirement that patients have to be informed when care is provided by a student, and they have to provide written consent. And lastly, we will add we'll require the board of chiropractic to submit a report to the legislature on implementation, patient patient safety, student participation, and other recommendations. Sorry, members, I know that was, a mouthful. We'll know that already has a defective date, so we'll keep that at 12/31/2050. Any discussions?

Seeing none, vice chair for the vote, please.

Voting on SB 2050 SD1 chair's recommendation is passed with amendments. Are there any member of noting the excused absence for the meaning of the hearing of representatives of Evslin, Woodson and Muraoka. Are there any members present choosing to go with reservations? Any members voting now. Thank you, Chair.

Your recommendation is adopted.

Okay. Thank you. Members will go right into the 215 agenda. This is the one that I requested a waiver on the floor today. Senate Bill 2602 SD1 relating to the general fund.

This bill requires that that excess funds in the tuition and fee special fund at the end of the fiscal year shall lapse to the credit of the general fund. Bear with me for a second. First, we have the University of Hawaii espying the opposition.

Good afternoon, chair, vice chair, representatives. Luis Salaveria, vice president, CFO for the University of Hawaii. We will provide you with our with our testimony, but just here basically in opposition to this particular bill, be happy to answer any questions you may have. Thank you.

Okay. Thank you, Luis. Okay. Is there anyone else in the room wishing to testify? Anybody on this one? Okay. Members, for questions? I have a few for Luis, if you don't mind.

Can you educate the committee what the current balance is of this special fund?

The current balance of the special fund right now, the tuition of the special fund is 351,622,400.

You sure? Down to the dollar? To the penny. Very impressive. So what is the the board of regents policy regarding what's constitutes an adequate, percent for reserves relative to your operating budget?

So the way that the reserve policy is set up. So the board of regents sets a requirement for the administration to establish, what it deems to be, an adequate reserve level from an operational perspective. So that Board of Regent policy is interpreted by, administrative policy, executive policy of the University of Hawaii, and that has been determined to be approximately 16% of our general operating expenses or about two months of of of operating expenses for the university.

So if you were to take, you know, a $1,300,000,000 operation and what is which is what we are, it's approximately $210,208,000,000 dollars that we would need.

Okay. How did the reserve fund end up doubling beyond the minimum reserve requirement? I I Should it happen over time?

It it definitely happens over time. There was definitely a a large infusion or a large balances that developed over, during the COVID period

when we got a significant amount of federal support during that period during that period of time as well as a combination of two things. Right? During during the COVID, there was also a maintenance of effort requirement. So that maintenance effort requirement still required the state to provide the the the level of general fund support in addition to the federal support that we're getting. So you saw the the balances start to develop.

So if you look at at the way that we manage it, we still maintain specific accounts for which particular campus generates those tuition and fees special funds. So so there is an accounting for where that money does come from. And and a significant amount of it does come from the community colleges.

Okay. So there's, like, sub accounts set up for each school. And is it the authority of each school's chancellor to spend that money down?

Correct. And and that's the and that's the intention, and, you know, I think, president and herself has been working with the chancellors, to basically look at how we can use those balances above the the required reserve amounts in order to make strategic, you know, investments into the university.

Are there times where you might have to pull money from one sub account, like, say for Leeward Community College to find something else, like, if Leeward Community College, for example?

Well, we have not had to do that because balances exist in in in each one of the areas. So, I mean, if there was a situation where there was a shortfall in one area, I mean, there is there is statutory language. And because the tuition of the special fund is a is a, in and of itself, one big fund with sub accounts, I mean, there would be a way to, again, allow for, say, for example, one campus to loan the money to another campus.

Okay. And does this special fund generate any interest or does money just sit there?

It does. It does generate interest.

Yes. Okay. And then last question, like, what is the rough timeline to start to spend some of this money down? I mean, it is a pretty substantial amount.

It it is a substantial amount when you look at the what we call the cash balances above the minimum reserve. And, again, our intention really is to is to take a we don't wanna just spend it all at once.

Obviously, we wanna make strategic decisions, but, I mean, I guess it it would be very difficult to say how long it would take to make those things, but, I mean, we would need, you know, several years in order to basically start spending it down in a systematic and strategic way and not just to spend money, to spend money.

Right. Does the board of regents have to approve any expenditure over a certain amount?

Yes. And and they approve all of the operational expenditure plans including any any additional requirements that would be needed, from the tuition fee specified.

Okay. And just to be clear, I know the bill as received by the committee would basically be a a one time sweep into the general fund. That's not what I'm seeking to to do with this, but it does concern me that the fund balance has grown to such a large amount. And I and, again, as you pointed out, I know the president is committed to using this money in a strategic manner. Appreciate you being here and providing that context for us.

Thank you. Members, any other questions?

I have a question. Yes. Okay. So has the administration approached the board of regents about spending this money?

We are working with the board of regents, definitely. I I guess, because this is really, you know, president's first year, and actually this and what we're going into is going to be her first year of actually working with the Board of Regents in developing the operational expenditure plans. That is one of the things that we are working on.

Alright, sir. Thank you. Members, any other questions? K. Seeing none.

Thank you, Luis. Okay. Let's just go right into decision making on this one, Senate Bill 2602 SD1. As I just stated, the intention here of this committee is not to sweep this right now into the general fund. I mean, I recognize we have a pretty precarious budget situation.

And, of course, the Kona-low and all the recovery funds will need to factor that in as well. But I would like to see a little more urgency from the university on this. So, members, the recommendation here is to pass us with an HD1.

So what we're gonna do is amend the language to require that so we're gonna amend section two, collapse any unencumbered balance of the tuition and fee special fund above the two months of operating expenses, which has been calculated as 16% of the average general operating expenditures over the last three fiscal years to the general fund on 06/30/2029. So what that essentially does is gives you h three fiscal years to start to draw down the excess above and beyond the reserve requirement.

So it could be roughly at 210,000,000 or so, give or take, based on what Luis had told us. We do wanna further specify that although campuses can loan each other money if needed, it just seems fair that students who pay into tuition and fees into one campus, that those the special funds should be locked boxed for that particular campus. So we'll put in that limitation.

And then lastly, we'll do a reporting requirement that twenty days prior to the twenty twenty seven legislative session that the re university provide an update as to their plans for drawing this money down. And, again, the hope here is that this will kinda urge the university system, all 10 campuses, and the chancellors, and the leadership to start to act with a little more urgency here on that.

And lastly, we will add a defective date of 07/01/3000. Members, any discussion? Seeing none, vice chair for the vote, please.

Voting on SB 2602 SD 1, chair's recommendation is passed with amendments. Chair and vice chair vote aye. Representative Evslin is excused. Representative Kapela. Aye.

Representative Kila. Aye. Representative La Chica. Aye. Representative Olds. Aye. Representative Woodson is excused. Representative Muraoka excused.

Representative Souza. Aye. Thank you, chair. Your recommendation is adopted.

Thank you, members.

We still have one more agenda. So just sit tight, please. Resolutions on the 2:30pm agenda, HCR 53 and HR 49. We'll do these in tandem. Requesting UH Board of Regents to conduct a system wide associate degree completion audit. We have testimony from the Board of Regents on this one. They are not present, but Members, just basically noting that they will take this up with their next agenda in April.

Any questions on this one? No one to ask questions of I guess. Next, HCR 54, HR 50, requesting the UH Board of Regents to consider renaming Leeward Community College to Puʻuloa Community College. Again, BOR testimony saying that they'll take a look at this at their next meeting in April.

Continuing on, HCR 110, HR 102, requesting the Board of Regents to review and refine the operational missions of UH's four year institutions to ensure that each campus fulfills a distinct and complementary role in serving students in the state.

Again, same testimony. HCR 111, HR 103, requesting the Board of Regents of UH to review and clarify the roles, responsibilities, and functions of the UH System in relation to the responsibilities of individual campuses. Sorry, ma'am. Give me one second. Sorry about that, Members.

Okay. Last bill, HCR 122, HR 114, requesting UH to allow Olelo Hawaii Pathway under the Niihau dialect. Do we have UH on the line for this one via Zoom? Okay. Farrah, go ahead, please.

Yes. Aloha, Chair, Vice Chair, Members of the Committee. Farrah-Marie Gomes, Associate Vice President for Student Affairs at the UH System, here testifying on behalf of Vice President Debbie Halbert. We did provide testimony offering comments for HCR 122, HR 114. We stand on that written testimony, and we're here to answer any questions you might have. Mahalo for the opportunity to provide testimony today.

Okay. Thank you, Farrah. Is there anyone else via Zoom? Okay. Members, any questions?

I just have a quick one, Chair. For UH. So I understand from your testimony that if you folks are going to allow anything, you guys just need resources. But I think the conversation is, I know this is housed under the Hawaiian language program, but I think, like, the reason for it's been introduced is there's just been barriers at that level. So is that the university's position?

I think what, so my colleague in academic affairs would probably be instrumental in helping to take the next steps of this conversation. And we at the system level are not aware of any of those barriers. But as a result of this, we can definitely start to get engaged in that.

Okay. And for the sake of time, if then should the Chair decide to move this measure forward, could we connect within soon to talk further? Thank you.

Absolutely. We'd be more than open to that. Thank you.

Thank you, Members. Any other questions? Seeing none. Let's just go right into decision making on the 2:30pm agenda. Again, we'll do these votes in tandem. HCR 53, HR 49.
