STAND. COM. REP. NO. 494

 

Honolulu, Hawaii

                  

 

RE:    S.B. No. 877

       S.D. 1

 

 

 

Honorable Donna Mercado Kim

President of the Senate

Twenty-Seventh State Legislature

Regular Session of 2013

State of Hawaii

 

Madam:

 

     Your Committee on Judiciary and Labor, to which was referred S.B. No. 877 entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO OCCUPATIONAL SAFETY AND HEALTH HEARINGS,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose and intent of this measure is to establish the procedures for the Hawaii Labor Relations Board to conduct appeals and authorize the Board to notify parties of a hearing using first class mail.

 

     Your Committee received testimony in support of this measure from the Department of Labor and Industrial and Relations.

 

     Your Committee finds that this measure sets forth the procedures for the Hawaii Labor Relations Board to conduct appeals.  As this measure moves through the legislative process, your Committee encourages the Department of Labor and Industrial Relations to develop language to define "contemptuous behavior" as used in to this measure.

 

     Your Committee further finds that existing law requires the Hawaii Labor Relations Board to use registered or certified mail to provide notice to parties of a hearing.  This measure would permit the Board to more efficiently allocate resources.

 

     Your Committee has amended this measure by:

 

     (1)  Inserting an effective date of July 1, 2050, to encourage further discussion; and

 

     (2)  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 Judiciary and Labor that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 877, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 877, S.D. 1, and be placed on the calendar for Third Reading.

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Judiciary and Labor,
