RE: H.B. No. 151
H.D. 1
Honorable Joseph M. Souki
Speaker, House of Representatives
Twenty-Seventh State Legislature
Regular Session of 2013
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committee on Labor & Public Employment, to which was referred H.B. No. 151 entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO COLLECTIVE BARGAINING,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The University of Hawai‘i supported the intent of this measure. The Hawaii State Teachers Association and IMUAlliance supported this measure with amendments. The Department of Education and Hawaii Government Employees Association opposed this measure. The University of Hawaii Professional Assembly and the Hawaii Labor Relations Board provided comments.
After further consideration, your Committee understands the concerns of the Hawaii Labor Relations Board regarding its ability to resolve complaints within 90 days in light of current staffing levels. Accordingly, your Committee recommends that your Committee on Finance examine the funding given to the Hawaii Labor Relations Board and determine the appropriate number of days within which the Hawaii Labor Relations Board shall resolve complaints.
Your Committee has amended this measure by:
(1) Leaving blank the number of days within which the Hawaii Labor Relations Board shall resolve complaints; and
(2) Changing its effective date to January 1, 2113, to promote further discussion.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Labor & Public Employment that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 151, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 151, H.D. 1, and be referred to the Committee on Finance.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Labor & Public Employment,
