A BILL FOR AN ACT
RELATING TO EDUCATION.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF HAWAII:
SECTION 1. The purpose of this Act is to repeal the statutory provision that provides teachers and educational officers with annual increments or other longevity step increases. Salary increases and step increases are negotiated with both teachers and educational officers pursuant to section 89-9, Hawaii Revised Statutes, and, therefore, provisions relating to annual increments and step increases are no longer necessary.
SECTION 2. Section 302A-623, Hawaii Revised Statutes, is amended to read as follows:
"[[]§302A-623[]]
Salary ranges, educational officers.
Salary ranges for educational officer positions of the department shall be
determined by the board based on the position classification/compensation plan
approved by the board. Salary ranges for educational officer positions shall be
subject to the requirements of [sections] section 302A-625 [and
302A-626]."
SECTION 3. Section 302A-703, Hawaii Revised Statutes, is amended by amending subsection (b) to read as follows:
"(b) The department shall develop a definition of "exemplary" in consultation with the appropriate collective bargaining representative.
Salary ranges and salary incentives for
educational officer positions shall be subject to the requirements of [sections]
section 302A-625 [and 302A-626]."
SECTION 4. Section 302A-626, Hawaii Revised Statutes, is repealed.
["§302A-626 Salary increases;
annual, longevity. (a) Teachers and educational officers who have
completed a year's satisfactory service and who have complied with the other
requirements of sections 302A-602 to 302A-639, and 302A-701, shall be entitled
to an annual increment.
(b) Teachers
and educational officers who have served satisfactorily for three years in
their maximum increment step or in any longevity step and who have complied
with the other requirements of sections 302A-602 to 302A-639, and 302A-701,
shall receive longevity step increases; provided that the board may grant
principals and vice-principals longevity step increases more frequently than
once every three years pursuant to section 302A-625."]
SECTION 5. Statutory material to be repealed is bracketed and stricken. New statutory material is underscored.
SECTION 6. This Act shall take effect upon its approval.
