, 2002
RE: H.B. No. 2526
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. 2526 entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO WORKERS' COMPENSATION,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose of this bill is to provide employers more time to file their year-end workers' compensation payment reports with the Director of Labor and Industrial Relations (Director).
The Department of Labor and Industrial Relations testified in support of this measure.
Currently, employers are required to file year-end workers' compensation reports with the Director on December 31st of each year. This bill will allow an employer to file this report with the Director by January 31st of the subsequent year, thus streamlining the reporting process and making the reports more accurate and complete.
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. 2526 and recommends that it pass Second Reading and be referred to the Committee on Consumer Protection and Commerce.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Labor and Public Employment,
____________________________ SCOTT SAIKI, Chair |
