Honorable Joseph M. Souki

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-Seventh State Legislature

Regular Session of 2014

State of Hawaii

 

Sir:

 

     Your Committee on Labor & Public Employment, to which was referred H.B. No. 1566 entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO EDUCATION,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose of this measure is to convene a task force led by the Director of Labor and Industrial Relations to study the feasibility of establishing a "pay forward pay back" program at the University of Hawaii.

 

     The Department of Labor and Industrial Relations and the University of Hawaii provided comments on this measure.

 

     Your Committee has amended this measure by:

 

     (1)  Requiring the President of the University of Hawaii, instead of the Director of Labor and Industrial Relations, to convene the task force and serve as its chairperson;

 

     (2)  Changing the recipient of the appropriation to the University of Hawaii; and

 

     (3)  Making technical, nonsubstantive amendments for the purposes of clarity, consistency, and style.

 

     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. 1566, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 1566, H.D. 1, and be referred to the Committee on Higher Education.

 

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