STAND. COM. REP. 2684
Honolulu, Hawaii
, 2004
RE: S.B. No. 2554
Honorable Robert Bunda
President of the Senate
Twenty-Second State Legislature
Regular Session of 2004
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committee on Ways and Means, to which was referred S.B. No. 2554 entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT MAKING APPROPRIATIONS FOR COLLECTIVE BARGAINING COST ITEMS,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose of this measure is to fund collective bargaining increases negotiated for firefighters (unit 11).
Specifically, this measure funds:
(1) Authorizations and appropriations for all collective bargaining cost items in the agreement negotiated with the exclusive bargaining representative of collective bargaining unit 11, firefighters; and
(2) The salary increases and other cost adjustments authorized by chapter 89C, Hawaii Revised Statutes, for state officers and employees who are excluded from collective bargaining.
No specific sums have yet been appropriated or authorized from the sources of funding indicated in this measure, your Committee, however, believes that a vehicle for funding these collective bargaining cost items, salary increases, and other cost adjustments should continue to advance in the Legislature as collective bargaining negotiations will eventually produce a settlement.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Ways and Means that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 2554 and recommends that it pass Third Reading.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Ways and Means,
|
