A BILL FOR AN ACT
MAKING AN APPROPRIATION FOR COLLECTIVE BARGAINING COST ITEMS.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF HAWAII:
SECTION 1. Under section 89-9(e), Hawaii Revised Statutes, negotiations between the exclusive representative and the employer are permitted on the amounts that the State and the counties contribute under sections 87A-32 through 87A-37, Hawaii Revised Statutes, toward the payment of health benefit plan costs. The parties are not permitted to use the binding arbitration process to resolve disputes relating to the employer contributions to the Hawaii employer-union health benefits trust fund under part IV, chapter 87A, Hawaii Revised Statutes. Because the parties were unable to resolve their differences through negotiations, a determination pursuant to section 89‑11(g), Hawaii Revised Statutes, on contributions for health benefits must be made by the legislature.
PART I
SECTION 2. There are appropriated or authorized from the sources of funding indicated below to program planning, analysis and budgeting (BUF 101) the following sums or so much thereof as may be necessary to fund for fiscal year 2010-2011, the Hawaii employer-union health benefits trust fund costs so that the employer will pay sixty per cent of the premiums for the employees in collective bargaining unit (10):
FY 2009-2010 FY 2010-2011
General Funds -0- -0-
Special Funds -0- -0-
Federal Funds -0- -0-
Other Funds -0- -0-
SECTION 3. Funds appropriated or authorized by this part shall be allotted by the director of finance to the appropriate state departments for expenditure in the respective fiscal year for the purposes of this part.
PART II
SECTION 4. There are appropriated or authorized from the sources of funding indicated below to program planning, analysis and budgeting (BUF 101) the following sums or so much thereof as may be necessary to fund for fiscal year 2009-2010, the Hawaii employer-union health benefits trust fund costs so that the employer will pay sixty per cent of the premiums for the employees in bargaining unit (10):
FY 2009-2010 FY 2010-2011
General Funds -0- -0-
Special Funds -0- -0-
Federal Funds -0- -0-
Other Funds -0- -0-
SECTION 5. Funds appropriated or authorized by this part shall be allotted by the director of finance to the appropriate state departments for expenditure in the respective fiscal year for the purposes of this part.
PART III
SECTION 6. The legislature finds that for the employees of collective bargaining unit 10 and for state officers and employees excluded from collective bargaining unit 10 for plan years 2009-2010 and 2010-2011, subject to the applicable provisions of chapters 87A and 89, Hawaii Revised Statutes, the above appropriations provide for employer monthly contributions to the Hawaii employer-union health benefits trust fund ("trust fund") as follows:
(1) For each employee-beneficiary enrolled in the trust fund group life insurance plan, the employer shall pay $4.16 per month which reflects one hundred per cent of the monthly premium and administrative fees.
(2) Rounding employer's monthly contribution. Whenever the employer's monthly contribution (premium plus administrative fee) to the trust fund is less than one hundred per cent of the monthly premium amount, such monthly contribution shall be rounded to the nearest cent as provided below:
When rounding to the nearest cent results in an even amount, such even amount shall be the employer's monthly contribution. For example:
(A) $11.397 = $11.40 = $11.40 (employer's monthly contribution)
(B) $11.382 = $11.38 = $11.38 (employer's monthly contribution)
When rounding to the nearest cent results in an odd amount, round to the lower even cent, and such even amount shall be the employer's monthly contribution. For example:
$11.392 = $11.39 = $11.38 (employer's monthly contribution)
$11.386 = $11.39 = $11.38 (employer's monthly contribution)
Employer contributions shall be rounded after administrative fees have been determined by the trust fund board.
PART IV
SECTION 7. Cost adjustments provided in this Act for any officer or employee whose compensation is paid, in whole or in part, from federal, special, or other funds shall be paid wholly or proportionately, as the case may be, from the respective funds.
SECTION 8. Funds appropriated or authorized by this Act that are not expended or encumbered by June 30, 2010, and June 30, 2011, of the respective fiscal years, shall lapse as of those dates.
SECTION 9. This Act shall take effect on July 1, 2050.
