STAND. COM. REP. NO. 68
Honolulu, Hawaii
RE: S.B. No. 910
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. 910 entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT MAKING APPROPRIATIONS FOR COLLECTIVE BARGAINING COST ITEMS,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose and intent of this measure is to provide a legislative vehicle to appropriate unspecified employer contribution amounts for Hawaii Employer-Union Health Benefits Trust Fund health benefit plan premiums for public employees in collective bargaining unit (13) and their excluded counterparts for fiscal biennium 2013-2015.
Prior to the hearing on this measure, a proposed S.D. 1 was prepared and made available for public review. The proposed S.D. 1 amends this measure by deleting its contents and inserting language that appropriates funds for fiscal biennium 2013-2015 for collective bargaining cost items for public employees in collective bargaining unit (3) and for employees excluded from collective bargaining that are on the same compensation plans as those officers and employees within collective bargaining unit (3).
Your Committee received testimony in support of the proposed S.D. 1 from the Department of Budget and Finance and Hawaii Government Employees Association, AFSCME Local 152, AFL-CIO.
Your Committee finds that the negotiations for collective bargaining agreements for bargaining unit (3) are currently in progress. The proposed S.D. 1 provides a legislative vehicle that can be used if an agreement is reached or an arbitration award is issued prior to the end of the 2013 Regular Session.
Your Committee has amended this measure by adopting the proposed S.D. 1 and amending it further by making a technical, nonsubstantive amendment 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. 910, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 910, S.D. 1, and be referred to the Committee on Ways and Means.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Judiciary and Labor,
