S.D. 2
H.D. 2
Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say
Speaker, House of Representatives
Twenty-Second State Legislature
Regular Session of 2004
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committee on Finance, to which was referred S.B. No. 2424, S.D. 2, H.D. 1, entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO NEW CENTURY CONVERSION CHARTER SCHOOLS,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose of this bill is to preserve and extend civil service rights, privileges, and benefits to certain employees of new century conversion charter schools (charter school) by:
(1) Allowing civil service employees of Department of Education (DOE) schools to retain their civil service status upon the conversion of their school to a charter school;
(2) Granting civil service status to employees hired after the school's conversion who are in positions that would be civil service in a public school; and
(3) Allowing employees with civil service status at a Charter School to retain civil service status upon transferring to a DOE school that is not a charter school.
The Department of Human Resources Development testified in support of this bill.
Your Committee has amended this bill by:
(1) Clarifying that positions in a charter school that would be civil service in a DOE public school shall be civil service and subject to chapter 76, Hawaii Revised Statutes; and
(2) Making technical, nonsubstantive amendments for clarity and style.
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 S.B. No. 2424, S.D. 2, H.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Third Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 2424, S.D. 2, H.D. 2.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Finance,
