Sir:

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

"A BILL FOR AN ACT MAKING APPROPRIATIONS FOR COLLECTIVE BARGAINING COST ITEMS,"

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this measure is to fund collecting bargaining cost items in an agreement negotiated with collective bargaining unit 10.

The bill also funds salary increases and other cost adjustments authorized by chapter 89C, Hawaii Revised Statutes, for unit 10's excluded counterparts.

Your Committee finds that this measure is an appropriate vehicle to facilitate discussion on this issue and to provide funds for cost items in the agreement negotiated with collective bargaining unit 10, and for salary increases and other cost adjustments authorized by chapter 89C for their excluded counterparts.

Upon further consideration, your Committee has amended this measure by changing the effective date to continue discussions on the measure.

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. 1046, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Third Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 1046, S.D. 1.

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