Title:   HIV/AIDS to Health

Topic:   Structure

Committee:   Structure

House of Initial Action:   Deputies

Proposer:   Structure of the Church

Resolved, the House of _____ concurring, That the 75th General Convention, contingent upon funding of the Standing Commission on Health, affirm the continuing work of the Executive Council Standing Committee on HIV/AIDS, and rename it as a Committee of the Standing Commission on Health, with no change in mandate; and be it further

Resolved, That the Committee report, at least annually, to the Standing Commission on Health.
 

EXPLANATION

The Executive Council Standing Committee on HIV/AIDS is established every triennium by a resolution of the General Convention. This would fit the definition of a Committee of Executive Council and it could at least be renamed as such. This resolution would instead move the Committee to the Standing Commission on Health, which is empowered to study and draft proposals about health ministries. The HIV/AIDS Committee's mandate includes the recommendation of pertinent resolutions concerning the Church's response to the HIV/AIDS pandemic. This move from Executive Council to a Standing Commission will allow a higher profile for this mandate.
