Regular Session of 2005
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committee on Finance, to which was referred H.B. No. 460, H.D. 1, entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO THE CIVIL SERVICE,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose of this bill is to allow the Chief Election Officer to fill the Office of Elections' staff positions with civil service employees subject to collective bargaining.
The Office of Elections and Campaign Spending Commission supported this bill. The Hawaii Government Employees Association opposed this bill.
Your Committee has amended this bill by:
(1) Repealing from section 11-5, Hawaii Revised Statutes (HRS), the reference to the public employment collective bargaining law;
(2) Deleting the proposed language allowing the Chief
Election Officer to hire as deemed necessary;
(3) Changing the effective date to July 1, 2010, to encourage further discussion; and
(4) Making technical, nonsubstantive changes for clarity,
consistency, 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 H.B. No. 460, H.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Third Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 460, H.D. 2.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Finance,
