RE:    GOV. MSG. NO. 747

 

 

 

Honorable Donna Mercado Kim

President of the Senate

Twenty-Eighth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2015

State of Hawaii

 

Madam:

 

     Your Committee on Judiciary and Labor, to which was referred Governor's Message No. 747, submitting for study and consideration the nomination of: 

 

Board of Trustees of the Deferred Compensation Plan

 

G.M. No. 747

RODERICK K. BECKER,

for a term to expire 6-30-2019,

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     Your Committee has reviewed the personal history, resume, and statement submitted by the nominee and finds Roderick Becker to possess the requisite qualifications to be nominated to the Board of Trustees of the Deferred Compensation Plan.

 

     Your Committee received testimony in support of the nominee from the Department of Human Resources Development, Department of Budget and Finance, and one individual.

 

     Upon review of the testimony, your Committee finds that Mr. Becker's background, experience, and dedication to public service qualifies him for appointment to the Board of Trustees of the Deferred Compensation Plan.  Your Committee notes that Mr. Becker is currently serving as the Deputy Director of the Department of Budget and Finance.  Mr. Becker also currently serves as a member of the Board of Trustees of the Employer-Union Health Benefits Trust Fund.  Previously, Mr. Becker served as the Budget Program Administrator for the City and County of Honolulu and the Budget Chief for the Hawaii State Senate.  Your Committee believes that the experience Mr. Becker has acquired through each of these roles will allow him to be a valuable member of the Board of Trustees of the Deferred Compensation Plan.

 

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Judiciary and Labor that is attached to this report, your Committee, after full consideration of the background, experience, and qualifications of the nominee, has found the nominee to be qualified for the position to which nominated and recommends that the Senate advise and consent to the nomination.

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Judiciary and Labor,
