RE: S.B. No. 813
S.D. 2
Honorable Robert Bunda
President of the Senate
Twenty-Third State Legislature
Regular Session of 2005
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committee on Ways and Means, to which was referred S.B. No. 813, S.D. 1, entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO EMPLOYMENT SECURITY,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose of this measure is to appropriate $10,000,000 in each year of the fiscal biennium from the Unemployment Insurance Trust Fund to support various labor-related activities, including the County Workforce Investment Boards and Leeward Community College's immigrant education and job training programs.
The bill also appropriates funds to the Department of Labor and Industrial Relations:
(1) For the America One-Stop Operating System and other employment-type services;
(2) To improve computer systems connectivity and employment related electronic needs; and
(3) To improve access to workforce information to enhance employment in the State.
Finally, the bill conforms state law to the Temporary Extended Unemployment Compensation Act of 2002 so that the State can utilize the federal funds which is the source for the appropriations made in this bill.
Your Committee has amended the bill by making technical amendments that have no substantive effect.
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. 813, S.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Third Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 813, S.D. 2.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Ways and Means,
