A BILL FOR AN ACT
relating to job training.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF HAWAII:
SECTION 1. The legislature finds that there is a rising number of eligible retirees within the various departments of state government. According to the department of human resources development's "State of Hawaii Executive Branch Workforce Profile" report, as of fiscal year 2016, the number of eligible retirees within the state executive workforce are as follows:
(1) Department of human resources development-administered personnel system: 4,484 out of 14,744 (16.8%);
(2) Department of education: 2,551 out of 21,841 (11.7%);
(3) University of Hawaii: 1,382 out of 7,563 (18.3%); and
(4) Hawaii health systems corporation: 307 out of 3,876 (7.9%).
According to the same report, the projected number of eligible retirees by 2021 are expected to increase to:
(1) Department of human resources development-administered personnel: 4,986 (33.8%);
(2) Department of education: 5,662 (25.9%);
(3) University of Hawaii: 2,504 (33.1%); and
(4) Hawaii health systems corporation: 834 (21.5%).
The legislature further finds that, for some departments, the percentage of eligible retirees is over twenty per cent of their workforce. Furthermore, that number is expected to steadily increase over the next five years, up to over forty per cent in some cases. In the case of the department of human resources development in particular, the percentage of eligible retirees is expected to rise to 48.8% by 2021.
The legislature further finds that given the high number of eligible retirees within the current workforce, there is a pressing need to prepare the next generation of workers to take over, especially at the supervisory level.
The purpose of this Act is to establish a supervisor job shadowing pilot project under the department of human resources for leadership and supervisory training in an effort to stabilize the workforce & ensure the transfer of essential skills and institutional knowledge.
SECTION 2. (a) The department of human resources development shall establish and implement a supervisory and professional job shadowing pilot project to enable existing state employees who are candidates for promotion to supervisory or professional positions, for which the incumbents are close to retirement, to train for those positions by shadowing the incumbents.
(b) The pilot project shall include:
(1) Criteria such as a minimum time period for the job shadowing term and an evaluation using a standardized evaluation instrument to determine each participant's performance in the job shadowing program; and
(2) Supervisory or leadership training, conducted by the department of human resources development, for the participants.
(c) The director of human resources development shall select a department to implement the pilot project.
(d) The pilot project shall commence on July 1, 2017, and shall terminate on June 30, 2022.
(e) The department shall submit a report of its findings and recommendations, including any proposed legislation, to the legislature no later than twenty days prior to the convening of the regular session of 2023. The report shall include a recommendation on whether the pilot project should be made permanent, modified, or terminated.
SECTION 3. There is appropriated out of the general revenues of the State of Hawaii the sum of $ or so much thereof as may be necessary for fiscal year 2017-2018 and the same sum or so much thereof as may be necessary for fiscal year 2018-2019 to fund stipends for the supervisory candidates to receive while participating in the program and remaining in their current positions and for full-time equivalent ( FTE) temporary positions for supervisory candidates to occupy while shadowing supervisors.
The sums appropriated shall be expended by the department of human resources development for the purposes of this Act.
SECTION 4. This Act shall take effect on July 1, 2017.
