STAND. COM. REP. NO.  373-12

 

Honolulu, Hawaii

                , 2012

 

RE:   H.B. No. 2439

 

 

 

 

Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-Sixth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2012

State of Hawaii

 

Sir:

 

     Your Committee on Labor & Public Employment, to which was referred H.B. No. 2439 entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO EMPLOYER-UNION HEALTH BENEFITS TRUST FUND,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose of this measure is to ensure that all qualifying public employees of the State and counties are provided health insurance by defining "credited service" and clarifying the definitions of "employee" and "part-time, temporary, and seasonal or casual employee" under the Hawaii Employer-Union Health Benefits Trust Fund.

 

     No testimony was received on this measure.

 

     Your Committee finds that this measure appears to be a housekeeping measure to align statutory language with current practices of the Hawaii Employer-Union Health Benefits Trust Fund.

 

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Labor & Public Employment that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 2439 and recommends that it pass Second Reading and be referred to the Committee on Finance.

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Labor & Public Employment,
