Sir:
Your Committee on Labor & Public Employment, to which was referred H.B. No. 676 entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO COLLECTIVE BARGAINING,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose of this measure is to:
(1) Authorize the Chair of the State Public Charter School Commission to vote on collective bargaining agreements for bargaining units (5) and (6); and
(2) Require collective bargaining agreements for bargaining unit (9) to provide three votes for the Governor, two for the Hawaii Health Systems Corporation (HHSC), and one for each county mayor in which HHSC operates a facility.
Your Committee has amended this measure by:
(1) Amending the voting allocations for bargaining units (5) and (6) to give the governor four, instead of three, votes;
(2) Changing the voting structure for bargaining unit (9) to give the Chief Justice of the Hawaii Supreme Court one vote; and
(3) Changing the effective date to July 1, 2115, to encourage further discussion.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Labor & Public Employment that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 676, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 676, H.D. 1, and be referred to the Committee on Finance.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Labor & Public Employment,
