A BILL FOR AN ACT
RELATING TO TRANSPORTATION OF SCHOOL CHILDREN.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF HAWAII:
SECTION 1. The legislature finds and determines that student transportation costs have escalated in recent years, prompting the legislature to mandate comprehensive assessment and reports relating to the transportation of school children. The legislature finds and determines that the statutory provisions governing the transportation of school children and contracts for such transportation should be revised in a manner that will enable the department of education to implement the recommendations of the department's consultants in restructuring the practices, policies, and procedures relating to requests for proposal, thereby, providing greater flexibility in determining the values as markets evolve while maintaining the integrity of procurement through specifications in the contracting process.
In November 2012, the Student Bus Transportation Study Final Report was received by the department of education from its consultant, Management Partnership Services, Inc., confirming that student transportation costs have escalated unacceptably in recent years. The final report cited statutory compensation requirements as a constraint on contracting for bus services. The report noted that statutory wording has the most direct impact on system efficiencies as it establishes a floor for bus driver salaries.
SECTION 2. Section 103-55, Hawaii Revised Statutes, is amended by amending subsection (c) to read as follows:
"(c) This section shall apply to all contracts to perform services in excess of $25,000, including contracts to supply ambulance service and janitorial service.
This section shall not apply to:
(1) Managerial, supervisory, or clerical personnel.
(2) Contracts for supplies, materials, or printing.
(3) Contracts for utility services.
(4) Contracts to perform personal services under paragraphs (2), (3), (12), and (15) of section 76-16, paragraphs (7), (8), and (9) of section 46-33, and paragraphs (7), (8), and (12) of section 76-77.
(5) Contracts for professional services.
(6) Contracts to operate refreshment concessions in
public parks, [or] to provide food services to educational institutions[.],
or to provide transportation services for school children.
(7) Contracts with nonprofit institutions."
SECTION 3. Statutory material to be repealed is bracketed and stricken. New statutory material is underscored.
SECTION 4. This Act shall take effect upon its approval.
