, 2001
RE: S.B. No. 1146
Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say
Speaker, House of Representatives
Twenty-First State Legislature
Regular Session of 2001
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committee on Labor and Public Employment, to which was referred S.B. No. 1146 entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO THE HOISTING MACHINE OPERATORS ADVISORY BOARD,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose of this bill is to clarify the regulatory framework governing the hoisting machine operator profession by:
(1) Placing the Hoisting Machine Operators Advisory Board (Board) in the Department of Labor and Industrial Relations (DLIR) for administrative purposes;
(2) Authorizing the Board to hire a part-time executive director who shall be exempt from civil service and collective bargaining laws; and
(3) Appropriating funds to carry out this purpose.
DLIR testified in support of this measure.
Your Committee finds that this measure will eliminate any constitutional issues by placing the Board within DLIR. In addition, your Committee finds that this measure will enable the Board to regulate hoisting machine operators more effectively.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Labor and Public Employment that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 1146 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 and Public Employment,
____________________________ TERRY NUI YOSHINAGA, Chair |
