Title:   Fund Health Standing Commission

Topic:   Budget

Committee:   Program, Budget and Finance

House of Initial Action:   Deputies

Proposer:   Structure of the Church

Resolved, the House of _____ concurring, That the 75th General Convention request the Joint Standing Committee on Program, Budget, and Finance to consider a budget allocation of $48,000 for the implementation of the 74th General Convention’s decision to establish a Standing Commission on Health; and be it further
Resolved, That the members of the Standing Commission on Health be appointed according to Canon following the close of the 75th General Convention.
 

EXPLANATION

The 74th General Convention approved the creation of a Standing Commission on Health (2003 Journal, p. 690), but failed to approve funding for the commission. Since no funding was approved, no members have been appointed to serve and the Standing Commission is de facto non-existent. We recommend that this Standing Commission be funded and members appointed so that the Commission may be able 'to study and make recommendations' to the next General Convention on the topic of Health.
