                                   RE:  H.B. No. 1095
                                        H.D. 1
                                        S.D. 2




Honorable Norman Mizuguchi
President of the Senate
Twentieth State Legislature
Regular Session of 1999
State of Hawaii

Sir:

     Your Committee on Ways and Means, to which was referred H.B.
No. 1095, H.D. 1, S.D. 1, entitled: 

     "A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO THE REVIEW OF THE SALARIES OF
     THE TRUSTEES OF THE OFFICE OF HAWAIIAN AFFAIRS,"

begs leave to report as follows:

     The purpose of this bill is to start the four-year cycle for
the process of reviewing the salaries of the trustees of the
Office of Hawaiian Affairs.

     Your Committee finds that Act 358, Session Laws of Hawaii
1993, originally set forth a scheme in which a salary commission
for the trustees would be appointed by the Governor by
November 30, 1996, and every four years after that.  The
commission would then submit any recommendations for a salary
increase to the next regular session of the Legislature.
However, the salary commission was never appointed and the cycle
never started.  Your Committee finds that starting this salary
review cycle is appropriate.

     The bill originally required the first cycle to start this
session and required the salary review commission to submit a
recommendation to the Legislature by the fortieth day of this
session.  Your Committee has amended the bill by changing the
recommendation date deadline to the fiftieth day of this session.

1095, H.D. 1, S.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it

H.D. 1, S.D. 2.
