COM. REP. NO. 105-24
Honolulu, Hawaii
, 2024
RE: H.B. No. 1642
H.D. 1
Honorable Scott K. Saiki
Speaker, House of Representatives
Thirty-Second State Legislature
Regular Session of 2024
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committee on Labor & Government Operations, to which was referred H.B. No. 1642 entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO GENERAL EMPLOYEE ORIENTATION,"
begs leave to report as follows:
Your Committee finds that as state and
local governments look to hire new employees, it is essential that employees
are made aware of their benefits and rights as soon as possible. This measure ensures that employers are providing
newly hired employees with a general orientation on the employee's benefits and
rights and, if not compliant, are held accountable.
Your Committee has amended this measure by:
(1) Including failure to provide a general orientation on benefits and rights for newly hired employees as a prohibited practice for a public employer or its designated representative under section 89-13(a), Hawaii Revised Statutes;
(2) Changing the effective date to July 1, 3000, to encourage further discussion; and
(3) Making technical, nonsubstantive amendments for the purposes of clarity, consistency, and style.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Labor & Government Operations that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 1642, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 1642, H.D. 1, and be referred to your Committee on Judiciary & Hawaiian Affairs.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Labor & Government Operations,
