STAND. COM. REP. NO. 762
Honolulu, Hawaii
RE: S.B. No. 1271
S.D. 1
Honorable Colleen Hanabusa
President of the Senate
Twenty-Fifth State Legislature
Regular Session of 2009
State of Hawaii
Madam:
Your Committee on Ways and Means, to which was referred S.B. No. 1271, S.D. 1, entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO PUBLIC EMPLOYEES,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose of this measure is to require exempt civil service managerial employees in the legislative and executive branches of government to use, donate, or forfeit vacation leave upon their termination from public employment.
This measure also prohibits these employees from being reemployed by the same department that employed the employee immediately prior to the discharge.
Your Committee received two written comments on this measure. The written comments may be reviewed on the Legislature's website.
Your Committee finds that under the current law, these exempt civil service managerial employees, like other public employees, are entitled to be paid compensation in lieu of receiving a vacation allowance when terminating from public employment. Your Committee believes that this measure serves as an important vehicle in exploring all available avenues to sustain the current level of government services with fewer resources during this economic downturn.
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. 1271, S.D. 1, and recommends that it pass Third Reading.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Ways and Means,
