STAND. COM. REP. 2676

Honolulu, Hawaii

, 2004

RE: S.B. No. 2545

S.D. 1

 

 

Honorable Robert Bunda

President of the Senate

Twenty-Second State Legislature

Regular Session of 2004

State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committee on Ways and Means, to which was referred S.B. No. 2545, S.D. 1, entitled:

"A BILL FOR AN ACT MAKING AN APPROPRIATION FOR COLLECTIVE BARGAINING COST ITEMS FOR PUBLIC EMPLOYEES,"

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this measure is to fund arbitrated salary increases for collective bargaining unit 4 (supervisory employees in white collar positions) and supervisory employees excluded from collective bargaining.

Since collective bargaining negotiations are now on-going between the State and collective bargaining unit 4, this measure serves as a vehicle to fund any possible salary increases if an agreement is reached during the legislative session.

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 S.B. No. 2545, S.D. 1, and recommends that it pass Third Reading.

 

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

____________________________
