health care in Hawaii, as well as working conditions for nurses. The Center will collect and analyze data and prepare
and disseminate written reports and recommendations regarding the current and future status and trends of the
nursing workforce. The Center will conduct research on best practices and quality outcomes, as well as, develop a
plan for implementing strategies to recruit and retain nurses. Act 198 establishes a special fund to support the
Center's activities and requires the assessment of a $40 fee upon the issuance of a new nurse license and at each
license renewal. Beginning on July 1, 2003, each new license will be assessed the $40 fee to support the Center, and
beginning with the 2005 renewal, the fee will be assessed for each license renewal.
