STAND. COM. REP. NO.  1090

 

Honolulu, Hawaii

                , 2013

 

RE:   S.B. No. 904

      S.D. 1

 

 

 

 

Honorable Joseph M. Souki

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-Seventh State Legislature

Regular Session of 2013

State of Hawaii

 

Sir:

 

     Your Committee on Labor & Public Employment, to which was referred S.B. No. 904, S.D. 1, entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT MAKING APPROPRIATIONS FOR COLLECTIVE BARGAINING COST ITEMS,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose of this measure is to provide a legislative means to fund a pending arbitration award for Hawaii Employer-Union Health Benefits Trust Fund costs for employees in collective bargaining unit (9) and their excluded counterparts for the fiscal biennium 2011-2013.

 

     Your Committee received testimony in support of this measure from the Hawaii Government Employees Association.  The Department of Budget and Finance submitted comments on the measure.

 

Your Committee finds that the State and the exclusive representative of collective bargaining unit (9) entered into binding arbitration regarding Hawaii Employer-Union Health Benefits Trust Fund cost items for fiscal biennium 2011-2013 and that this measure is necessary to appropriate funds for the expected costs of that award.

 

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Labor & Public Employment that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 904, S.D. 1, and recommends that it pass Second Reading and be referred to the Committee on Finance.

 

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Labor & Public Employment,
