Sir:
Your Committee on Conference on the disagreeing vote of the House of Representatives to the amendments proposed by the Senate in H.B. No. 1917, H.D. 2, S.D. 2, entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT PROPOSING AMENDMENTS TO THE HAWAII CONSTITUTION RELATING TO THE ESTABLISHMENT OF A SALARY COMMISSION,"
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 propose an amendment to the State Constitution to establish a salary commission to review and make recommendations for the salaries of the Governor, Lieutenant Governor, members of the Legislature, justices and judges of all state courts, Administrative Director of the State, department heads or executive officers of the executive departments, and deputies or assistants to department heads of the executive departments, excluding the University of Hawaii and the Department of Education.
Your Committee on Conference has amended this bill by:
(1) Requiring the salary commission to submit its recommendation beginning with the Regular Session of the 2007 Legislature;
(2) Specifying that any change in salary which becomes effective shall not apply to the Legislature to which the recommendation for the change in salary was submitted; and
(3) Making technical, nonsubstantive amendments for clarity, consistency, and style.
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 H.B. No. 1917, H.D. 2, S.D. 2, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Final Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 1917, H.D. 2, S.D. 2, C.D. 1.
