COM. REP. NO. 274
Honolulu, Hawaii
, 2023
RE: H.B. No. 413
H.D. 1
Honorable Scott K. Saiki
Speaker, House of Representatives
Thirty-Second State Legislature
Regular Session of 2023
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committee on Labor & Government Operations, to which was referred H.B. No. 413 entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO THE DEPARTMENT OF HUMAN RESOURCES DEVELOPMENT,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The
purpose of this measure is to appropriate
funds for the Department of Human Resources Development to retain the services
of an online employment marketplace or networking platform to assist in
recruiting employees for the State.
Your Committee finds that the
Department of Human Resources Development needs to increase and expand
recruitment initiatives and resources to attract individuals for positions
within the Executive Branch. According
to the Department, there are over four thousand vacant positions within the
Executive Branch, and in addition to those vacancies, approximately thirty
percent of the existing workforce is eligible to retire by June 30, 2027. The funding provided by this measure would
allow the Department of Human Resources Development to use various
subscription-based online platforms to assist with recruitment and allow the
Department to target recruitments that are hard to fill and specialized.
Your Committee has amended this measure by changing the effective date to June 30, 3000, to encourage further discussion.
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. 413, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 413, H.D. 1, and be referred to your Committee on Finance.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Labor & Government Operations,
