Sir:
Your Committee on Economic Revitalization, Business, & Military Affairs, to which was referred S.B. No. 614 entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO FAMILY LEAVE,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose of this bill is to provide additional family leave benefits to military families by granting employees family leave to address family care, legal, and financial issues directly related to or resulting from the military deployment of an employee's child, spouse, reciprocal beneficiary, or parent.
The Department of Defense supported the intent of this bill. The Department of Labor and Industrial Relations and Department of Human Resource Development opposed this bill. The Chamber of Commerce of Hawaii submitted comments.
Your Committee has amended this measure by changing its effective date to July 1, 2112, to encourage further discussion.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Economic Revitalization, Business, & Military Affairs that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 614, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 614, H.D. 1, and be referred to the Committee on Labor & Public Employment.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Economic Revitalization, Business, & Military Affairs,
