STAND. COM. REP. NO. 2880

 

Honolulu, Hawaii

                  

 

RE:    H.B. No. 2179

 

 

 

Honorable Shan S. Tsutsui

President of the Senate

Twenty-Sixth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2012

State of Hawaii

 

Sir:

 

     Your Committee on Judiciary and Labor, to which was referred H.B. No. 2179 entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO THE AUDITOR,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose and intent of this measure is to create a uniform policy regarding salaries of all heads of legislative agencies by applying the salary diminishment provisions to the Auditor.

 

     Your Committee did not receive any submitted testimony for this measure.

 

     Your Committee finds that while all salaried state officers are subject to salary cuts as provided by general law, the Auditor is statutorily exempt from these provisions.  This measure creates parity with the salary diminishment provisions applied to the heads of the other legislative agencies.

 

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Judiciary and Labor that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 2179, and recommends that it pass Second Reading and be referred to the Committee on Ways and Means.

 


Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Judiciary and Labor,
