Sir:

Your Committee on Conference on the disagreeing vote of the Senate to the amendments proposed by the House of Representatives in S.B. No. 1286, S.D. 1, H.D. 2, entitled:

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO THE HOUSING AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION OF HAWAII,"

having met, and after full and free discussion, has agreed to recommend and does recommend to the respective Houses the final passage of this bill in an amended form.

The purpose of this measure is to transfer administrative responsibility for the Housing and Community Development Corporation of Hawaii (HCDCH) from the Department of Business, Economic Development, and Tourism (DBEDT) to the Department of Human Services (DHS).

Upon further consideration, your Committee on Conference has amended this measure by recasting the language in section 6, which provides for the transfer of personnel and the rights and benefits of employees transferred by this measure, to reflect the reforms made under Act 253, Session Laws of Hawaii 2000, and the subsequent adoption of revised rules, additional collective bargaining provisions, and expanded Executive Orders.

As affirmed by the record of votes of the managers of your Committee on Conference that is attached to this report, your Committee on Conference is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 1286, S.D. 1, H.D. 2, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Final Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 1286, S.D. 1, H.D. 2, C.D. 1.
