STAND. COM. REP. 2688

Honolulu, Hawaii

, 2004

RE: S.B. No. 2593

 

 

Honorable Robert Bunda

President of the Senate

Twenty-Second State Legislature

Regular Session of 2004

State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committee on Ways and Means, to which was referred S.B. No. 2593 entitled:

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO INDEBTEDNESS TO THE GOVERNMENT,"

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this measure is to expedite the repayment of an indebtedness to the State due to a salary or wage overpayment.

Your Committee finds that in the case of an indebtedness to the State by an employee due to an overpayment of salary or wages, upon notice to the employee of the indebtedness, the employee may contest the indebtedness pursuant to Chapter 91, Hawaii Revised Statutes (Hawaii Administrative Procedure Act). This measure expressly provides that, the contest notwithstanding, the State shall proceed with the collection of the indebtedness through salary or wage withholdings, or as otherwise provided by law.

As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Ways and Means that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 2593 and recommends that it pass Third Reading.

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Ways and Means,
