H.D. 1

Honorable Scott K. Saiki

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-Ninth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2018

State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committee on Labor & Public Employment, to which was referred S.B. No. 2055, S.D. 1, entitled:

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO THE EXECUTIVE BRANCH,"

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this measure is to require the Governor to provide written notice to the Senate no later than the forty-first day of a regular legislative session of the name of any gubernatorial nominee for an Executive Branch position that is subject to the Senate's advice and consent.

The Office of the Governor opposed this measure.

Your Committee has amended this measure by changing the specific day by which the Governor must provide written notice to the Senate of the name of a gubernatorial nominee for an Executive Branch position that is subject to the Senate's advice and consent to an unspecified day.

Your Committee notes that the requirement established by this measure is intended to apply when the Legislature is in regular session.

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 S.B. No. 2055, S.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 2055, S.D. 1, H.D. 1, and be referred to your Committee on Finance.

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Labor & Public Employment,
