STAND. COM. REP. NO. 3415
Honolulu, Hawaii
RE: H.B. No. 2091
H.D. 2
S.D. 1
Honorable Ronald D. Kouchi
President of the Senate
Thirty-First State Legislature
Regular Session of 2022
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committee on Labor, Culture and the Arts, to which was referred H.B. No. 2091, H.D. 2, entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO PUBLIC EMPLOYMENT COST ITEMS,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose and intent of this measure is to appropriate or authorize funds for fiscal biennium 2021-2023 for collective bargaining cost items including salary and other cost adjustments for the members of collective bargaining unit (1), which consists of nonsupervisory employees in blue collar positions, and their excluded counterparts.
Your Committee received testimony in support of this measure from the Department of Budget and Finance; University of Hawai‘i System; Hawaii Health Systems Corporation; and United Public Workers, AFSCME Local 646, AFL-CIO.
Your Committee
finds that the State and the
exclusive representative of collective bargaining unit (1) have reached an
agreement, which was later ratified by the unit's members. Your Committee further finds that pursuant to
section 89-10(b), Hawaii Revised Statutes, the Governor submitted the cost
items and this measure serves as the corresponding legislative approval of
those cost items.
Your
Committee has amended this measure by making technical, nonsubstantive amendments for the purposes of
clarity and consistency.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Labor, Culture and the Arts that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 2091, H.D. 2, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 2091, H.D. 2, S.D. 1, and be referred to your Committee on Ways and Means.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Labor, Culture and the Arts,
