RE: H.B. No. 2641
H.D. 1
S.D. 2
Honorable Robert Bunda
President of the Senate
Twenty-Third State Legislature
Regular Session of 2006
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committee on Ways and Means, to which was referred H.B. No. 2641, H.D. 1, S.D. 1, entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO PUBLIC WORK PROJECTS,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose of this measure is to include as a public work any private construction project if more than fifty per cent of the assignable square feet of the project is leased or assigned for use by the State or any county.
Specifically, the measure establishes that, regardless of whether a construction project is between private persons and is to remain privately owned, the project is a public work and subject to the prevailing wage requirements of public works if fifty per cent of the assignable square feet is leased or assigned to the State or a county and either:
(1) The lease is entered into prior the construction contract becoming effective; or
(2) The construction work to be performed is according to a plan, specifications, or criteria established by the State or any county.
Your Committee has amended this measure by:
(1) Adding a "savings" clause; and
(2) Making technical nonsubstantive changes for the purposes of clarity and style.
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 H.B. No. 2641, H.D. 1, S.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Third Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 2641, H.D. 1, S.D. 2.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Ways and Means,
