RE:   S.B. No. 642

      S.D. 2

Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-Fifth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2009

State of Hawaii

 

Sir:

 

     Your Committee on Finance, to which was referred S.B. No. 642, S.D. 2, H.D. 1, entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO PUBLIC EMPLOYEES,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose of this bill is to clarify the laws concerning wages and health and retirement benefits for excluded employees by providing that:

 

     (1)  Adjustments for excluded civil service employees under the same classification systems as employees within collective bargaining units result in compensation and benefit packages that are at least equal to those provided under collective bargaining agreements for counterparts within the employer's jurisdiction; and

 

     (2)  Adjustments for excluded employees in the excluded managerial compensation plan to be at least equal to across-the-board wage increases or reductions, step movement, and changes in health and retirement benefits provided under collective bargaining agreements to employees in the bargaining unit from which the employees are excluded.

 

     The City and County of Honolulu Department of Human Resources and Hawaii Fire Fighters Association supported this bill.

 

     Your Committee has amended this bill by changing the effective date to July 1, 2020, to encourage further discussion.

 

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Finance that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 642, S.D. 2, H.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Third Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 642, S.D. 2, H.D. 2.

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Finance,
