RE:   S.B. No. 2836

      S.D. 1

      H.D. 2

 

 

 

Honorable Joseph M. Souki

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-Eighth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2016

State of Hawaii

 

Sir:

 

     Your Committee on Finance, to which was referred S.B. No. 2836, S.D. 1, H.D. 1, entitled:

 

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

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose of this measure is to make appropriations for collective bargaining cost items for Bargaining Unit 14 and their excluded counterparts, including the cost of salary increases and other wage related costs negotiated between the State and the bargaining unit representative.

 

     The Office of Collective Bargaining and the Hawaii Government Employees Association, AFSCME Local 152, AFL-CIO testified in support of this measure.  The Department of Budget and Finance commented on this measure.

 

     Your Committee has amended this measure by deleting language that inaccurately represented that Bargaining Unit 14's excluded counterparts belong to the same compensation plans as personnel included in Bargaining Unit 14.


     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 S.B. No. 2836, S.D. 1, H.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Third Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 2836, S.D. 1, H.D. 2.

 

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