A BILL FOR AN ACT
relating to education.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF HAWAII:
SECTION 1. The purpose of this Act is to repeal the statutory provision that provides teachers and educational officers with annual increments or other longevity step increases. Salary increases and step increases are negotiated with teachers and educational officers pursuant to collective bargaining laws, and, therefore, specific provisions relating to annual increments and step increases are no longer necessary in the State's education laws.
SECTION 2. Section 302A-623, Hawaii Revised Statutes, is amended to read as follows:
"[[]§302A-623[]] Salary
ranges, educational officers. Salary ranges for educational officer
positions of the department shall be determined by the board based on the
position classification/compensation plan approved by the board. Salary ranges
for educational officer positions shall be subject to the requirements of [sections]
section 302A-625 [and 302A-626]."
SECTION 3. Section 302A-703, Hawaii Revised Statutes, is amended by amending subsection (b) to read as follows:
"(b) The department shall develop a definition of "exemplary" in consultation with the appropriate collective bargaining representative.
Salary ranges and salary incentives for
educational officer positions shall be subject to the requirements of [sections]
section 302A-625 [and 302A-626]."
SECTION 4. Section 302A-626, Hawaii Revised Statutes, is repealed.
["§302A-626 Salary increases;
annual, longevity. (a) Teachers and educational officers who have
completed a year's satisfactory service and who have complied with the other
requirements of sections 302A-602 to 302A-639, and 302A-701, shall be entitled
to an annual increment.
(b) Teachers and educational officers who
have served satisfactorily for three years in their maximum increment step or
in any longevity step and who have complied with the other requirements of
sections 302A-602 to 302A-639, and 302A-701, shall receive longevity step
increases; provided that the board may grant principals and vice-principals
longevity step increases more frequently than once every three years pursuant
to section 302A-625."]
SECTION 5. Statutory material to be repealed is bracketed and stricken. New statutory material is underscored.
SECTION 6. This Act shall take effect upon its approval.
