Regular Session of 2004
State of Hawaii
Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say
Speaker, House of Representatives
Twenty-Second State Legislature
Regular Session of 2004
State of Hawaii
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. 2551, H.D. 1, entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT MAKING AN APPROPRIATION 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 fund all collective bargaining cost items in the agreement negotiated with the exclusive bargaining representative of collective bargaining unit 7, faculty of the University of Hawaii and the community college system.
In addition, this measure funds the salary increases and other cost adjustments authorized by chapter 89C, Hawaii Revised Statutes, for faculty of the University of Hawaii and the community college system who are excluded from collective bargaining.
Upon further consideration, your Committee on Conference has amended this measure by:
(1) Including a purpose section to reflect the six-year agreement reached by the parties and to explain the Legislature's inability to approve appropriations for future fiscal bienniums;
(2) Inserting specific amounts to be appropriated to cover salary increases and cost items provided in the agreement between the State and bargaining unit (7) and those authorized for state officers and excluded employees; and
(3) Making the Act effective retroactive to July 1, 2003.
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. 2551, H.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Final Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 2551, H.D. 1, C.D. 1.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the managers:
