STAND. COM. REP. NO.208-02

Honolulu, Hawaii

, 2002

RE: H.B. No. 2329

 

 

 

Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-First State Legislature

Regular Session of 2002

State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committee on Labor and Public Employment, to which was referred H.B. No. 2329 entitled:

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO MANAGED COMPETITION,"

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this bill is to:

(1) Define the term "managed competition" as the process by which the State or a county and a private contractor competes to provide government services; and

(2) Correct an incorrect reference to the Office of Collective Bargaining and Managed Competition.

The Department of Human Resources Development testified in support of this bill. The Hawaii Government Employees Association commented on this measure.

Act 90, Session Laws of Hawaii 2001 (Act 90), authorized the Governor and executives of other jurisdictions to use a managed competition process as a management tool to provide government services more efficiently. However, Act 90 neglected to define the term "managed competition." Your Committee finds that this bill defines this term and enables the State and the counties to implement Act 90.

 

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 H.B. No. 2329 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,
