RE:   H.B. No. 894

      H.D. 1

 

 

 

 

Honorable Joseph M. Souki

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-Eighth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2015

State of Hawaii

 

Sir:

 

     Your Committee on Labor & Public Employment, to which was referred H.B. No. 894 entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO THE ENHANCED 911 BOARD,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose of this measure is to assist the operations of the Enhanced 911 Board ("Board") by providing the Board with the ability to hire its own staff, exempt from chapters 76 and 89, Hawaii Revised Statutes, to perform administrative functions.

 

     The Department of Accounting and General Services, exempt Hawaii Police Department, Honolulu Police Department, Maui Police Department, and an individual testified in support of this measure.

 

     Your Committee has amended this measure by removing the hiring exemptions to chapter 76 and 89, Hawaii Revised Statutes.  Technical, nonsubstantive amendments were also made for 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. 894, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 894, H.D. 1, and be referred to the Committee on Consumer Protection & Commerce.

 

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