RE:    S.B. No. 1081

       S.D. 2

 

 

 

Honorable Shan S. Tsutsui

President of the Senate

Twenty-Sixth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2011

State of Hawaii

 

Sir:

 

     Your Committee on Ways and Means, to which was referred S.B. No. 1081, S.D. 1, entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT MAKING APPROPRIATIONS FOR SALARY INCREASES FOR PUBLIC EMPLOYEES,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose and intent of this measure is to provide sufficient funds to cover the costs of all collective bargaining cost items for public employees in collective bargaining unit (2) and its excluded counterparts who work for the State.

 

     Your Committee received comments in support of this measure from Randy Perreira, Executive Director, Hawaii Government Employees Association.

 

     Your Committee received comments in opposition to this measure from Kalbert K. Young, Director, Department of Budget and Finance.

 

     Your Committee finds that this measure is necessary to provide a legislative vehicle to appropriate funds for any collective bargaining agreement that may be executed by state public employers and the exclusive representative for collective bargaining unit (2) and its excluded counterparts.

 

     Your Committee has amended this measure by changing the effective date to July 1, 2050, to facilitate further discussion and by making technical, nonsubstantive amendments for the purposes of clarity and consistency.

 

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Ways and Means that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 1081, S.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Third Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 1081, S.D. 2.

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Ways and Means,
