STAND. COM. REP. NO. 2863

Honolulu, Hawaii

RE: S.B. No. 3034

S.D. 2

 

 

Honorable Robert Bunda

President of the Senate

Twenty-Third State Legislature

Regular Session of 2006

State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committee on Ways and Means, to which was referred S.B. No. 3034, S.D. 1, entitled:

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO PREVAILING WAGES,"

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this measure is to extend the requirements of chapter 104, Hawaii Revised Statutes, relating to the payment of prevailing wages in public work projects to indirect public works.

The measure defines "indirect public work project" as any project relating to real or personal property that has or will receive a government benefit, including a construction contract between private parties if more than twenty-five per cent of the assignable square feet of the project is leased for use by the State or any county and where the lease was signed prior to commencement of the project or construction work is performed according to plans or specifications established by the State or any county.

Your Committee amended this measure by:

(1) Including in the definition of "indirect public work project" any housing project developed pursuant to chapter 201H (housing finance and development administration); and

(2) Making technical nonsubstantive changes for clarity and consistency.

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. 3034, S.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Third Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 3034, S.D. 2.

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