STAND. COM. REP. NO. 1199
Honolulu, Hawaii
, 2005
RE: H.B. No. 758
H.D. 2
S.D. 1
Honorable Robert Bunda
President of the Senate
Twenty-Third State Legislature
Regular Session of 2005
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committees on Education and Military Affairs and Labor, to which was referred H.B. No. 758, H.D. 2, entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO EMPLOYMENT PRACTICES,"
beg leave to report as follows:
The purpose of this measure is to require the Department of Education to adhere to the state minimum wage law when setting wages for meal count assistants, adult supervisors, and classroom cleaners.
Testimony in support of the measure was submitted by the Department of Education.
Your Committees find that a conflict arises in recognizing meal count assistants, adult supervisors, and classroom cleaners as employees of the Department of Education. This measure would include these positions in the department's statutes and allow for their appropriate position funding.
Upon further consideration, your Committees have made an amendment to exempt learners, apprentices, students, wards, and handicapped workers presently subject to a special minimum wage under section 387-9, HRS.
As affirmed by the records of votes of the members of your Committees on Education and Military Affairs and Labor that are attached to this report, your Committees are in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 758, H.D. 2, as amended herein, and recommend that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 758, H.D. 2, S.D. 1, and be referred to the Committee on Ways and Means.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committees on Education and Military Affairs and Labor,
