A BILL FOR AN ACT
RELATING TO BOARDS OF WATER SUPPLY.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF HAWAII:
SECTION 1. Section 78-3.6, Hawaii Revised Statutes, is repealed.
["[§78-3.6 Experimental
modernization projects; county boards of water supply.] It is the
intent of this section to encourage and facilitate improvements in the human
resource programs of qualifying boards of water supply. With or without the
approval from the chief executive, the director of any qualifying board of
water supply may conduct experimental modernization projects to determine
whether specific changes in its human resource program would result in a more
desirable program for the jurisdiction.
Prior to the implementation of any experimental
modernization project, the director of any qualifying board of water supply
shall:
(1) Develop a plan identifying:
(A) The purpose of the project;
(B) The methodology to be used;
(C) The duration of the project;
(D) The criteria for evaluation of
the project; and
(E) The cost of the project, if any;
and
(2) Consult and negotiate with the
exclusive representative if a modification or waiver of any provision in a
collective bargaining agreement, including any new provision, is necessary to conduct
the project.
The representative of the qualifying board
of water supply and the exclusive representative shall mutually agree in
writing to any modification, waiver, or new provision before the project is
implemented.
While the board of water supply project is
in progress, it shall not be limited by state or local personnel laws and
rules, but shall be in compliance with all equal employment opportunity laws,
laws prohibiting discrimination, and chapter 89.
For purposes of this section,
"qualifying board of water supply" means any county board of water
supply serving a population of 500,000 or more persons."]
SECTION 2. Statutory material to be repealed is bracketed and stricken.
SECTION 3. This Act shall take effect upon its approval.
