                                   RE:  S.B. No. 1046
                                        S.D. 2




Honorable Norman Mizuguchi
President of the Senate
Twentieth State Legislature
Regular Session of 1999
State of Hawaii

Sir:

     Your Committee on Ways and Means, to which was referred S.B.
No. 1046, S.D. 1, entitled: 

     "A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO THE CIVIL SERVICE SYSTEM FOR
     PUBLIC OFFICERS AND EMPLOYEES,"

begs leave to report as follows:

     The purpose of this bill is to authorize the Director of
Human Resources Development to draft replacement civil service
legislation.

     Your Committee finds that the director is faced with an
enormous challenge in overhauling the present civil service
system.  Accordingly, your Committee has amended this measure by
postponing the replacement of the present civil service system by
one year from 2000 to 2001.

     Your Committee intends that with the extended time period
prior to the replacement of the present civil service system, the
director should continue maintain and renew collective bargaining
agreements.

     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 S.B. No.
1046, S.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass

 
a                                                     SB1046 SD2

                                 of the members of the Committee
                                 on Ways and Means,
