STAND. COM. REP. NO. 699

Honolulu, Hawaii

RE:    S.B. No. 690

       S.D. 2

Honorable Colleen Hanabusa

President of the Senate

Twenty-Fifth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2009

State of Hawaii

Madam:

     Your Committee on Ways and Means, to which was referred S.B. No. 690, S.D. 1, entitled:

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO INTERGOVERNMENTAL MOVEMENTS,"

begs leave to report as follows:

     The purpose of this measure is to allow the movement of permanent civil service employees between the state, county, and federal governments under certain conditions.

Your Committee received one written comment on this measure.  Copies of written comments submitted are available for review on the Legislature’s website.

Your Committee finds that the provisions of this measure were previously codified in section 76-36, Hawaii Revised Statutes, but were later repealed.  Currently, intergovernmental temporary exchanges and movements are allowed for public service employees.  Your Committee believes that this measure is consistent with that policy and will facilitate the movement of civil service employees among government agencies and restore the rights, benefits, and privileges that were previously provided to them.

Your Committee has amended this measure my making technical nonsubstantive amendments for the purposes of clarity, consistency, 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 S.B. No. 690, S.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Third Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 690, S.D. 2.

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Ways and Means,
