State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committee on Labor, to which was referred S.B. No. 1036 entitled:

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this measure is to fund collective bargaining cost items for Unit 11 and its excluded counterparts, including the cost of salary adjustments negotiated between the State and the bargaining unit representative for Fiscal Biennium 2001-2003.

Testimony in support of the measure was received from the Department of Human Resources Development, the Hawaii State Fire Fighters Association, and the United Public Workers.

Your Committee believes that this measure accurately reflects the settlement agreed upon between the public employers and the Hawaii State Fire Fighters Association.

As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Labor that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 1036 and recommends that it pass Second Reading and be referred to the Committee on Ways and Means.
