     The Hawaii Labor Relations Board testified in support of this measure.

 

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Labor & Public Employment that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 2367 and recommends that it pass Second Reading and be referred to your Committee on Consumer Protection & Commerce.
