H.D. 1

S.D. 2

Honorable Ronald D. Kouchi

President of the Senate

Thirtieth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2019

State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committee on Ways and Means, to which was referred H.B. No. 914, H.D. 1, S.D. 1, entitled:

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO THE HAWAII LABOR RELATIONS BOARD,"

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose and intent of this measure is to clarify that, except as provided by law, the party seeking the review of a decision and order of the Hawaii Labor Relations Board shall bear the cost of preparing a transcript.

Your Committee received written comments in support of this measure from the Hawaii Labor Relations Board.

Your Committee finds that clarifying that parties seeking review of the Board's decisions and orders shall be responsible for the cost of preparing transcripts, except as provided by law, will ensure that those parties are aware of their duties and obligations with respect to applicable reviews.

Your Committee has amended this measure by changing the effective date to July 1, 2050, to facilitate further discussion on the measure.

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 H.B. No. 914, H.D. 1, S.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Third Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 914, H.D. 1, S.D. 2.

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