STAND. COM. REP. NO. 2424

 

Honolulu, Hawaii

                  

 

RE:    S.B. No. 2175

       S.D. 1

 

 

 

Honorable Colleen Hanabusa

President of the Senate

Twenty-Fifth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2010

State of Hawaii

 

Madam:

 

     Your Committee on Labor, to which was referred S.B. No. 2175 entitled:

 

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

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose of this measure is to require that one public employer member on the Board of Trustees of the Employer-Union Health Benefits Trust Fund be appointed by the Hawaii Council of Mayors to represent the counties.

 

     Comments on this measure were submitted by one private organization.  Written testimony presented to the Committee may be reviewed on the Legislature's website.

 

     Your Committee finds that the counties contribute a substantial amount to the Employer-Union Health Benefits Trust Fund and the health and well-being of their employees and retirees depend on the benefit decisions made by the Board of Trustees.  Your Committee also finds that having a county representative serve on the Board of Trustees will provide the Board with insight into the fiscal and employment concerns that pertain to each respective county.

 

     Your Committee has amended this measure by changing the effective date to July 1, 2050, to facilitate further discussion on this measure.

 

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Labor that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 2175, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Third Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 2175, S.D. 1.

 

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