Honorable Joseph M. Souki

Speaker, House of Representatives

Regular Session of 2013

State of Hawaii

 

Sir:

 

     Your Committee on Finance, to which was referred H.B. No. 822 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 appropriate funds for collective bargaining cost items for public employees in bargaining unit (7) and their excluded counterparts for fiscal biennium 2013-2015.

 

     Your Committee received testimony in support of this measure from the Department of Budget and Finance and the University of Hawaii System.

 

Your Committee finds that these appropriations are necessary to cover the expected costs of implementing the collective bargaining agreement currently being negotiated between the State and bargaining unit (7) for fiscal biennium 2013-2015.

 

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Finance that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 822 and recommends that it pass Third Reading.

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Finance,
