Sir:
Your Committee on Finance, to which was referred H.B. No. 2441 entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO WORKERS' COMPENSATION,"

The purpose of this bill is to protect students who work for a public employer as a part of the student's school-approved, work-based learning program by making the State the responsible employer for workers' compensation coverage.
The Department of Labor and Industrial Relations, Department of Education, and ILWU Local 142 supported this bill.
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. 2441 and recommends that it pass Third Reading.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Finance,
