                                 RE: S.B. No. 1275
                                     S.D. 1
                                     H.D. 1




Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say
Speaker, House of Representatives
Twentieth State Legislature
Regular Session of 1999
State of Hawaii

Sir:

     Your Committee on Labor and Public Employment, to which was
referred S.B. No. 1275, S.D. 1, entitled: 

     "A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO CIVIL SERVICE EXEMPTIONS,"

begs leave to report as follows:

     The purpose of this bill is to expand the civil service
exemption to Department of Education (DOE) employees who
supervise students during meal periods in the distribution,
collection, and counting of meal tickets.

     The Department of Education testified in support of this
bill.

     Your Committee finds that this bill will help the DOE comply
with the United States Department of Agriculture's AccuClaim
Regulation which requires that there be:

     (1)  No overt identification of students receiving free or
          reduced-price meals; and

     (2)  Accurate accountability of all meals claimed for
          federal reimbursement.

     Your Committee has amended this bill by making technical,
nonsubstantive changes for style and clarity.


 
 
 
                                 STAND. COM. REP. NO. 1183_______

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your
Committee on Labor and Public Employment that is attached to this
report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose
of S.B. No. 1275, S.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that
it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No.
1275, S.D. 1, H.D. 1, and be referred to the Committee on
Education.

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