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. 710, H.D. 1, entitled:

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

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

The purpose of this measure is to appropriate funds for all collective bargaining cost items in the agreement negotiated with the exclusive bargaining representative of Collective Bargaining Unit 7, comprising the faculty of the University of Hawaii and community colleges.

In addition, the measure funds the salary increases and other cost adjustments authorized by chapter 89C, Hawaii Revised Statutes, for other personnel of the University of Hawaii and the community college system under the same salary schedule who are excluded from collective bargaining.

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

(1) Inserting specific amounts to be appropriated to cover the costs of the salary increases;

(2) Inserting language to authorize the use of moneys from the 2000-2001 fiscal year to cover the costs of collective bargaining cost items; and

(3) Changing the date upon which this Act shall take effect from July 1, 2010, to upon approval.

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. 710, H.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Final Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 710, H.D. 1, C.D. 1.

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the managers:
