STAND. COM. REP. NO.3544

Honolulu, Hawaii

, 2002

RE: H.B. No. 2329

 

 

Honorable Robert Bunda

President of the Senate

Twenty-First State Legislature

Regular Session of 2002

State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committee on Ways and Means, 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 measure is to define the term "managed competition".

In particular, "managed competition" is defined as the process by which the State or a county competes with a private contractor to provide government services. In addition, this measure corrects an incorrect reference to the Office of Collective Bargaining and Managed Competition.

Your Committee finds that Act 90, Session Laws of Hawaii 2001, authorized the Governor and executives of other jurisdictions to use a managed competition process as a management tool to provide government services more efficiently, but failed to define the term "managed competition". Your Committee finds that this measure 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 Ways and Means 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 Third Reading.

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