AI Summary

This Concurrent Resolution requests that all executive departments in Hawaii adopt a state policy ensuring that any money saved by the state due to the federal government covering 100% of the costs for Native Hawaiian health care systems is specifically used to address health problems, such as dental issues and chronic diseases, that disproportionately affect Native Hawaiian communities. The resolution highlights the importance of organizations like Papa Ola Lkahi and AHARO Hawaii, which provide culturally sensitive health services to Native Hawaiians, and acknowledges that these savings are a result of extended federal medical assistance payments.
