RE: S.R. No. 94

S.D. 1

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 S.R. No. 94, S.D. 1, entitled:

"SENATE RESOLUTION URGING THE UNIVERSITY OF HAWAII, IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC SAFETY AND DEPARTMENT OF LAND AND NATURAL RESOURCES DIVISION OF CONSERVATION AND RESOURCES ENFORCEMENT, TO STRENGTHEN AND ENHANCE THE SCHOOL-TO-CAREER PIPELINE FOR POSITIONS IN PUBLIC SAFETY,"

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose and intent of this measure is to increase the number of people prepared to enter public safety and resources enforcement careers by urging the Department of Public Safety and Division of Conservation and Resources Enforcement of the Department of Land and Natural Resources to strengthen and enhance the school-to-career pipeline for positions in public safety and resources enforcement.

Your Committee received written comments in support of this measure from the Department of Land and Natural Resources and one individual.

Your Committee finds that by raising awareness of possible careers in public safety and resources enforcement, this measure helps to reduce state job vacancies and increase employee retention.

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 concurs with the intent and purpose of S.R. No. 94, S.D. 1, and recommends its adoption.

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