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




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 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 extend the civil service
exemption to less than half-time employees of the Department of
Education who supervise students during not only lunch, but any
meal period and distribute, collect, and count meal tickets.

     Your Committee finds that allowing for the exemption of
these positions from the civil service law will give the
Department greater flexibility in hiring and quickly filling
these positions.  These employees help school personnel only
during limited times of the day and yet provide necessary
assistance to the regular school staff.

     Current law only allows an exemption for persons conducting
these functions during lunch periods.  Your Committee finds that
there is no logical reason to limit the exemption to this single
meal period.

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your
Committee on Ways and Means that is attached to this report, your

 
a                                                     SB1275 SD1

Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No.
1275, S.D. 1, and recommends that it pass Third Reading.

                                 Respectfully submitted on behalf
                                 of the members of the Committee
                                 on Ways and Means,



                                 ________________________________
