STAND. COM. REP. NO. 2937

 

Honolulu, Hawaii

                  

 

RE:    H.B. No. 2495

       H.D. 1

 

 

 

Honorable Shan S. Tsutsui

President of the Senate

Twenty-Sixth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2012

State of Hawaii

 

Sir:

 

     Your Committee on Judiciary and Labor, to which was referred H.B. No. 2495, H.D. 1, entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO COLLECTIVE BARGAINING COST ITEMS,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose and intent of this measure is to provide unspecified employer contribution amounts for plan years 2011-2012 and 2012-2013 for Hawaii employer-union health benefits trust fund health benefit plan premiums for the public officers and employees of collective bargaining unit 11 (firefighters) pursuant to section 89-11(g), Hawaii Revised Statutes, due to an impasse in negotiations.

 

     Your Committee received testimony in support of this measure from the Hawaii Fire Fighters Association, IAFF Local 1463, AFL‑CIO.

 

     Your Committee finds that the public employers and the Hawaii Fire Fighters Association are at an impasse and an arbitration hearing has not yet been scheduled.  This measure provides a vehicle to implement pending collective bargaining agreements from a potential arbitration for bargaining unit 11.

 

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Judiciary and Labor that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 2495, H.D. 1, and recommends that it pass Second Reading and be referred to the Committee on Ways and Means.

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Judiciary and Labor,
