RE: S.B. No. 3182
H.D. 1
C.D. 1
Honorable Robert Bunda
President of the Senate
Twenty-Second State Legislature
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. 3182, H.D. 1, entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO THE STATE OF HAWAII,"
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 bill is to require the executive branch to follow a two-year attrition policy to reduce the number of positions in that branch that are funded by the general fund.
Your Committee has amended this measure by deleting its contents and replacing it with the contents of H.B. No. 2748, S.D. 1.
As amended, this measure subjects the supervisory and personnel positions at the Business Action Center of the Department of Business, Economic Development, and Tourism to the civil service and public employment collective bargaining laws. Furthermore, this bill provides that the present employees in those affected positions will continue to perform their regular duties.
Your Committee finds that current law requires the Director of Business, Economic Development, and Tourism to fill those positions without regard to the civil service laws. Your Committee further finds that making these positions subject to the civil service and public employment collective bargaining laws will improve the effectiveness of the Department of Business, Economic Development, and Tourism's Business Action Center.
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. 3182, H.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Final Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 3182, H.D. 1, C.D. 1.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the managers:
ON THE PART OF THE HOUSE |
ON THE PART OF THE SENATE |
