AI Summary
This Concurrent Resolution requests that the State of Hawaii adopt a policy ensuring that any savings gained from the federal government covering 100% of the costs for Native Hawaiian health care services, a program established by the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (ARPA), are specifically used to address health problems, or "health disparities," faced by Native Hawaiian communities. These disparities include issues like significant dental needs and the early onset of chronic diseases, and the resolution emphasizes that these supplemental services should be provided by healthcare providers recognized by Papa Ola Lkahi, a nonprofit organization focused on Native Hawaiian health.
