RE: S.B. No. 1035

S.D. 1

 

 

Honorable Robert Bunda

President of the Senate

Twenty-First State Legislature

Regular Session of 2001

State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committee on Ways and Means, to which was referred S.B. No. 1035 entitled:

"A BILL FOR AN ACT MAKING APPROPRIATIONS FOR COLLECTIVE BARGAINING COST ITEMS,"

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this measure is to fund all collective bargaining cost items in the agreement negotiated with the exclusive bargaining representative of collective bargaining unit 10 (institutional, health, and correctional workers).

In addition, this measure funds the salary increases and other cost adjustments authorized by chapter 89C, Hawaii Revised Statutes, for institutional, health, and correctional workers who are excluded from collective bargaining.

Your Committee has amended this measure by:

(1) Inserting the appropriate dollar amounts and clarifying that this settlement is an arbitrated settlement; and

(2) Adding a provision to fund all collective bargaining cost items in the arbitrated settlement for state employees in collective bargaining unit 10 assigned to the Hawaii Health Systems Corporation; and

(3) Making technical nonsubstantive changes for purposes of clarity, consistency, and style.

As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Ways and Means that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 1035, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Third Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 1035, S.D. 1.

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