Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say

Speaker, House of Representatives

Regular Session of 2005

State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committee on Finance, to which was referred S.B. No. 945, S.D. 1, entitled:

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

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this bill is to fund all collective bargaining cost items negotiated for state employees in Collective Bargaining Unit (5). In addition, this bill funds the salary increases and other cost adjustments for certain state officers and employees who are excluded from collective bargaining and belong to the same compensation plans as persons from Unit (5).

The Office of Collective Bargaining supported this bill. The Hawaii State Teachers Association supported this bill and suggested amendments.

Your Committee has amended this measure by:

(1) Changing its effective date to July 1, 2006; and

(2) Making technical, nonsubstantive amendments for style, clarity, and consistency.

 

As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Finance that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 945, S.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 945, S.D. 1, H.D. 1, and be placed on the calendar for Third Reading.

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Finance,
