Honorable Joseph M. Souki

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-Seventh State Legislature

Regular Session of 2013

State of Hawaii

 

Sir:

 

     Your Committee on Labor & Public Employment, to which was referred H.B. No. 1169 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 provide funds for collective bargaining cost items for public employees in collective bargaining unit (8) and their excluded counterparts for fiscal biennium 2013-2015.

 

     Testimony in support of this measure was received from the Department of Budget and Finance and the Hawaii Government Employees Association.

 

     Your Committee finds that the funds appropriated or authorized are necessary to cover the expected cost of implementing the collective bargaining agreement negotiated between the State and the exclusive representative for collective bargaining unit (8).

 

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Labor & Public Employment that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 1169 and recommends that it pass Second Reading and be referred to the Committee on Finance.

 

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Labor & Public Employment,
