Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say

Sir:

     Your Committee on Labor and Public Employment, to which was
referred S.B. No. 2312, S.D. 1, entitled: 

     "A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO A HOISTING MACHINE OPERATORS

begs leave to report as follows:

     The purpose of this bill is to:

     (1)  Transfer general funds to the Hoisting Machine
          Operators Certification Revolving Fund (Fund); and

     (2)  Appropriate moneys from the Fund for certification and
          related activities for hoisting machine operators.

     The Department of Labor and Industrial Relations and the
Hawaii Operating Engineers Industry Stabilization Fund testified
in support of this legislation.

     Your Committee finds that supplemental funds are needed to
maintain the activities of the Hoisting Machine Operators
Advisory Board.

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. 2312, S.D. 1, and recommends that it pass Second
