STAND. COM. REP. NO. 332
Honolulu, Hawaii
, 2015
RE: H.B. No. 922
H.D. 1
Honorable Joseph M. Souki
Speaker, House of Representatives
Twenty-Eighth State Legislature
Regular Session of 2015
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committee on Labor & Public Employment, to which was referred H.B. No. 922 entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO THE HAWAII EMPLOYER-UNION HEALTH BENEFITS TRUST FUND,"
begs leave to report as follows:
Your Committee finds that the viability of the EUTF is of great concern to the State and that there should be an enhancement of benefits moratorium to protect the State's liability. Accordingly, your Committee has amended this measure by:
(1) Providing for a moratorium on benefit enhancements that increase other post-employment benefits liability within the EUTF statute; and
(2) Making technical, nonsubstantive amendments for clarity, consistency, and style.
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. 922, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 922, 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,
