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

Sir:

     Your Committee on Labor and Environment, to which was
referred S.B. No. 1470 entitled: 

     "A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO STATE OFFICERS AND EMPLOYEES
     EXCLUDED FROM COLLECTIVE BARGAINING AND MAKING
     APPROPRIATIONS AND OTHER ADJUSTMENTS,"

begs leave to report as follows:

     The purpose of this measure is to make an appropriation to
fund salary increases and other cost adjustments for certain
excluded legislative officers and employees.

     Your Committee received testimony in support of this measure
from the Acting Director of the Legislative Reference Bureau,
State Auditor, Ombudsman for the State of Hawaii, and Executive
Director of the Hawaii State Ethics Commission.

     This measure is intended to treat excluded legislative
employees in the legislative service agencies with equality and
parity to other state employees who are in collective bargaining
units 3, 4, and 13.

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your
Committee on Labor and Environment that is attached to this
report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose
of S.B. No. 1470 and recommends that it pass Second Reading and
be referred to the Committee on Ways and Means.
