H.D. 2

 

 

 

Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-Second State Legislature

Regular Session of 2003

State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committee on Finance, to which was referred S.B. No. 773, H.D. 1, entitled:

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO UNEMPLOYMENT INSURANCE,"

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this bill is to require the Department of Labor and Industrial Relations (DLIR) to make a redetermination of entitlement of unemployment insurance benefits using the alternative base period for individuals without sufficient qualifying weeks or wages in their base period.

DLIR and the Hawaii State AFL-CIO supported the intent of this measure. The ILWU Local 142 submitted comments.

Your Committee has amended this bill by making a technical, nonsubstantive amendment for purposes of clarity and consistency.

As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Finance that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 773, H.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Third Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 773, H.D. 2.

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Finance,
