STAND. COM. REP. NO.  103

 

Honolulu, Hawaii

                , 2013

 

RE:   H.B. No. 1164

 

 

 

 

Honorable Joseph M. Souki

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-Seventh State Legislature

Regular Session of 2013

State of Hawaii

 

Sir:

 

     Your Committee on Labor & Public Employment, to which was referred H.B. No. 1164 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 to fund Hawaii Employer-Union Health Benefits Trust Fund costs for the 2013-2015 fiscal biennium for public employees in collective bargaining unit (2) and their excluded counterparts.

 

     The Director of Finance and the Hawaii Government Employees Association submitted testimony in support of this measure.

 

     Your Committee finds that fund appropriations or authorizations by the Legislature are necessary to cover the expected costs of implementing the collective bargaining agreements negotiated between the State and respective bargaining units representing state public employees, and their excluded counterparts.  Accordingly, your Committee finds that this measure is necessary to fund Hawaii Employer-Union Health Benefits Trust Fund costs for employees in collective bargaining unit (2), along with state officers and employees who are excluded from collective bargaining but belong to the same compensation plans as those persons within unit (2), for the 2013-2015 fiscal biennium.

 

     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. 1164 and recommends that it pass Second Reading and be referred to the Committee on Finance.

 

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Labor & Public Employment,
