RE: S.B. No. 1115

S.D. 1

 

 

Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-First State Legislature

Regular Session of 2001

State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committee on Labor and Public Employment, to which was referred S.B. No. 1115, S.D. 1, entitled:

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO HUMAN RESOURCES,"

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this bill is to:

(1) Clarify the intent of Act 253, Session Laws of Hawaii, 2000, by repealing several provisions that were inadvertently not repealed in Act 253, to reduce unnecessary rule making by making technical, nonsubstantive corrections;

(2) Establish the Human Resources Development Special Fund (Fund) to support the Department of Human Resources Development's (DHRD) entrepreneurial initiatives, training activities, and programs;

(3) Deposit into the Fund all revenues by DHRD as a result of entrepreneurial efforts, participant fees, appropriations by the Legislature, or from any other source; and

(4) Designate and authorize $600,000 for fiscal year 2001-2002 for purposes of the Fund.

DHRD testified in support of this bill.

As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Labor and Public Employment that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 1115, S.D. 1, and recommends that it pass Second Reading and be referred to the Committee on Finance.

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Labor and Public Employment,
