Sir:

 

     Your Committee on Ways and Means, to which was referred S.B. No. 1062, S.D. 1, entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT MAKING APPROPRIATIONS FOR COLLECTIVE BARGAINING COST ITEMS,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose and intent of this measure is to appropriate funds for Hawaii Employer-Union Health Benefits Trust Fund costs for Executive Branch public employees in collective bargaining unit (8) and their excluded counterparts for fiscal biennium 2011-2013.

 

     Your Committee received comments on this measure from Kalbert K. Young, Interim Director, the Department of Budget and Finance

 

Your Committee finds that this measure should continue to move through the legislative process in the event that the public employers and exclusive representative of the public employees identified in the measure come to an agreement over cost items during the legislative session.

 

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Ways and Means that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 1062, S.D. 1, and recommends that it pass Third Reading.

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Ways and Means,
