STAND. COM. REP. NO 130

 

Honolulu, Hawaii

                

 

RE:    S.B. No. 830

       S.D. 1

 

 

 

Honorable Donna Mercado Kim

President of the Senate

Twenty-Eighth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2015

State of Hawaii

 

Madam:

 

     Your Committee on Government Operations, to which was referred S.B. No. 830 entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose and intent of this measure is to require the Department of Human Resources Development, Department of Education, University of Hawaii System, Hawaii Health Systems Corporation, and Judiciary to report annually to the Legislature regarding personnel vacancies that existed in the previous year.

 

     Your Committee did not receive any testimony on this measure.

 

     Your Committee finds that it is important for the Legislature to be aware of personnel vacancies in certain state departments and agencies in order to assist the Legislature in understanding staffing and funding concerns.

 

     Your Committee has amended this measure by:

 

     (1)  Inserting language to ensure that each report captures vacancies that existed in a twelve-month period; and

 

     (2)  Making technical, nonsubstantive amendments for the purposes of clarity and consistency.

 

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Government Operations that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 830, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 830, S.D. 1, and be referred to the Committee on Ways and Means.

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Government Operations,
