RE: H.B. No. 2525
H.D. 1
Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say
Speaker, House of Representatives
Twenty-First State Legislature
Regular Session of 2002
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committee on Finance, to which was referred H.B. No. 2525, H.D. 1, entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO PUBLIC WORKS PROJECTS,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose of this bill is to maintain a fair public works bidding process by:
(1) Clarifying that the provisions of chapter 104, Hawaii Revised Statutes (HRS), apply to every public works contract in excess of $2,000 regardless of whether prevailing wage, overtime, and other requirements are stated in a contract or specifications;
(2) Declaring that omission of these provisions shall not be used as a defense by a contractor who is not in compliance with the requirements of chapter 104, HRS; and
(3) Authorizing the disclosure of the terms of a collective bargaining agreement to a federal or state agency authorized to enforce the provisions of chapter 104, HRS.
The Department of Labor and Industrial Relations supported this measure, but requested an amendment to this measure.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Finance that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 2525, H.D. 1, and recommends that it pass Third Reading.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Finance,
