Honorable Scott K. Saiki

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-Ninth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2018

State of Hawaii

 

Sir:

 

     Your Committee on Finance, to which was referred H.B. No. 1932, H.D. 1, entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO EMERGENCY RULES BY AGENCIES,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose of this measure is to allow agencies to adopt specified emergency rules where new federal or state legislation or court decisions disrupt prior practice and urgent rule changes are needed to mitigate disruption.

 

     The University of Hawaii Professional Assembly; United Public Workers, AFSCME, Local 646, AFL-CIO; and the Oahu County Committee on Legislative Priorities of the Democratic Party of Hawaii supported this measure.  A concerned individual opposed this measure.  The Department of Education offered comments.

 

     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. 1932, H.D. 1, and recommends that it pass Third Reading.

 

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