Regular Session of 2005
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committee on Finance, to which was referred S.B. No. 962, S.D. 2, H.D. 1, entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO PREVAILING WAGES,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose of this bill is to expand and improve fair labor practices to all projects in which the government is involved by specifying exactly what defines a public works project, thereby requiring payment of prevailing wages by the contractor and subcontractors to all laborers and mechanics working on the project.
The Hawaii Carpenters Union supported this bill. The Department of Accounting and General Services (DAGS), Department of Labor and Industrial Relations (DLIR), Department of Taxation (DOTAX), and Building Industry Association of Hawaii, opposed this bill.
Your Committee has amended this bill by:
(1) The lease was made before the construction contract became effective; or
(2) Construction was according to government plan or specifications;
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 S.B. No. 962, S.D. 2, H.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Third Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 962, S.D. 2, H.D. 2.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Finance,
