RE:   H.B. No. 175

 

 

 

 

Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-Fifth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2009

State of Hawaii

 

Sir:

 

     Your Committees on Education and Labor & Public Employment, to which was referred H.B. No. 175 entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO SALARY INCREASES FOR TEACHERS AND EDUCATIONAL OFFICERS,"

 

beg leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose of this bill is to repeal the statutory provision that provides teachers and educational officers of the Department of Education (DOE) with annual increments or longevity step increases, as salary increases and step movements are negotiated with teachers and educational officers through collective bargaining.

 

     DOE and the Office of Collective Bargaining testified in support of this bill.  The Hawaii State Teachers Association opposed this measure.  The Department of Budget and Finance offered comments.

 

     As affirmed by the records of votes of the members of your Committees on Education and Labor & Public Employment that are attached to this report, your Committees are in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 175 and recommend that it pass Second Reading and be referred to the Committee on Finance.

 

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committees on Education and Labor & Public Employment,
