Sir:

Your Committee on Conference on the disagreeing vote of the Senate to the amendments proposed by the House of Representatives in S.B. No. 18, S.D. 1, H.D. 1, entitled:

"A BILL FOR AN ACT MAKING APPROPRIATIONS FOR SALARY INCREASES FOR PUBLIC EMPLOYEES,"

having met, and after full and free discussion, has agreed to recommend and does recommend to the respective Houses the final passage of this measure in an amended form.

The purpose of this measure is to fund all collective bargaining cost items in the arbitration award for Collective Bargaining Units 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, and 13.

In addition, this measure funds the salary increases and other cost adjustments authorized by chapter 89C, Hawaii Revised Statutes, for state officers and employees who are excluded from collective bargaining and belong to the same compensation plans as those officers and employees within Collective Bargaining Units 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, and 13.

 

Upon further consideration, your Committee on Conference has amended the measure by:

(1) Amending the amounts appropriated to the Hawaii Health Systems Corporation to more accurately reflect the cost of providing collective bargaining cost items to their employees;

(2) Changing the date upon which this Act shall take effect from July 1, 2010, to July 1, 2001; and

(3) Making technical, nonsubstantive amendments for the purposes of clarity and style.

As affirmed by the record of votes of the managers of your Committee on Conference that is attached to this report, your Committee on Conference is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 18, S.D. 1, H.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Final Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 18, S.D. 1, H.D. 1, C.D. 1.

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the managers:
