S.D. 2

 

 

Honorable Robert Bunda

President of the Senate

Twenty-Third State Legislature

Regular Session of 2006

State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committee on Ways and Means, to which was referred H.B. No. 1918, H.D. 1, S.D. 1, entitled:

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO COMMISSION ON SALARIES,"

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this measure is to establish a commission on salaries within the Department of Human Resources Development.

Furthermore, this bill appropriates funds to the Department and repeals provisions relating to the executive salary commission and the judicial salary commission.

Your Committee finds that this measure implements a proposed constitutional amendment that establishes a single salary commission for state officials in all three branches of state government.

Your Committee has amended this measure by:

(1) Changing the appropriation to an unspecified amount;

(2) Changing the effective date to facilitate further discussion; and

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

As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Ways and Means that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 1918, H.D. 1, S.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Third Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 1918, H.D. 1, S.D. 2.

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Ways and Means,
