Baisa, entitled <br /> "APPROVING FOR INCLUSION IN THE 2013 MAUI COUNTY LEGISLATIVE PACKAGE <br /> A STATE BILL AUTHORIZING COUNTY LIQUOR COMMISSIONS TO PROVIDE <br /> FUNDING FOR ALCOHOL ABUSE TREATMENT AND PREVENTION". <br /> The purpose of the proposed resolution is to approve for inclusion in the 2013 Maui <br /> County Legislative Package a State bill authorizing the County liquor commissions to provide <br /> funding for alcohol abuse treatment and prevention. <br /> At the meeting, the Committee requested that the proposal be transmitted to the Hawaii <br /> State Association of Counties ("HSAC") Executive Committee. The Policy Committee asked <br /> that the HSAC Executive Committee consider soliciting comments from our sister counties on <br /> the proposed State bill. If the HSAC Executive Committee is amenable to such action, the <br /> Policy Committee would appreciate receiving comments directly from the Hawaii County <br /> Council, Honolulu City Council, and Kauai County Council on this proposed measure. <br /> I currently anticipate scheduling this measure for further consideration by the Policy <br /> Committee at its meeting of either October 31, 2012, or November 14, 2012. <br /> To ensure efficient processing, may I please request that any comments include the <br /> relevant Committee item number referenced above in the subject line. <br />
