RE: H.B. No. 259

 

 

 

Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-Third State Legislature

Regular Session of 2005

State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committee on Finance, to which was referred H.B. No. 259 entitled:

"A BILL FOR AN ACT MAKING APPROPRIATIONS FOR COLLECTIVE BARGAINING COST ITEMS,"

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this bill is to fund all collective bargaining cost items negotiated for state employees in Collective Bargaining Unit (10). In addition, this bill funds the salary increases and other cost adjustments for certain state officers and employees who are excluded from collective bargaining and belong to the same compensation plans as persons from Unit (10) and those employees in Unit (10) who are employees of the Hawaii Health Systems Corporation.

The Hawaii Government Employees' Association supported this bill. The Judiciary supported this measure with amendments.

As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Finance that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 259 and recommends that it pass Second Reading and be placed on the calendar for Third Reading.

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Finance,
