AGENDA:

During the 2002 Regular Session, the Legislature expressed concerns about certain State and county privatization contracts that were entered into pursuant to Act 90, Session Laws of Hawaii (SLH) 2001. A specific concern was that private contractor services were not of an "equivalent or better quality" or were not provided at a cost lower than the cost of doing the work with government employees.

In response to this concern, the Legislature adopted Senate Concurrent Resolution No. 103, Senate Draft 1, which requested the Auditor to conduct a review of privatization contracts entered into since the enactment of Act 90, SLH 2001, for: the State Departments of Human Services, Public Safety, Health, Transportation, and Land and Natural Resources; the University of Hawaii's former School of Public Health and its new Office of Public Health Studies, Department of Public Health Sciences and Epidemiology, John A. Burns School of Medicine; and the City and County of Honolulu's Department of Environmental Services.

In December 2002, the Auditor issued Report No. 02-21, entitled, "Review of Privatization Contracts for Certain State and County Agencies". In it, the Auditor reported that although Act 90 enabled the State and counties to utilize privatization as a management tool, the State is not adequately prepared to utilize this tool. "Although, more than a year has passed since Act 90 went into effect, privatization efforts have been minimal."

The House Committee on Labor and Public Employment has requested the Auditor to brief the committee on the findings and recommendations offered in Report No. 02-21.
