COM. REP. NO. 1184
Honolulu, Hawaii
, 2025
RE: S.B. No. 1361
H.D. 1
Honorable Nadine K. Nakamura
Speaker, House of Representatives
Thirty-Third State Legislature
Regular Session of 2025
State of Hawaii
Madame:
Your Committee on Labor, to which was referred S.B. No. 1361 entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO THE EMPLOYEES' RETIREMENT SYSTEM'S EMPLOYER REPORTING REVIEW,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose of this measure is to:
(1) Extend the deadline for payment to the Employees' Retirement System for departments or agencies of the State or counties that fail to comply with reporting requirements by one year after the review period; and
(2) Change the timeframe for which the Employees' Retirement System must report regarding any department or agency's failure to submit required information to the Employees' Retirement System from the current fiscal year to the previous fiscal year.
Your Committee finds it important to provide the Employees' Retirement System more time to effectively collect, review, and analyze the data it receives and for employers to prepare pre-payment to the Employees' Retirement System, to ensure that requirements are adequately met. Your Committee believes this measure can alleviate undue burdens on the overall process of employer reporting, while ensuring that requirements and deadlines are appropriately met.
Your Committee has amended this measure by:
(1) Changing the effective date to July 1, 3000, to encourage further discussion; and
(2) Making a technical, nonsubstantive amendment for the purposes of clarity, consistency, and style.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Labor that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 1361, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 1361, H.D. 1, and be referred to your Committee on Finance.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Labor,
