A BILL FOR AN ACT

 

 

MAKING AN APPROPRIATION FOR COLLECTIVE BARGAINING COST ITEMS RELATED TO THE TRANSITION OF MAUI REGION HOSPITALS.

 

 

BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF HAWAII:

 


     SECTION 1.  The purpose of this Act is to make an appropriation for collective bargaining cost items to facilitate the transition of affected Maui region hospital employees to employment with Maui Health System, a Kaiser Foundation Hospitals LLC.  The transition of the operations of the Maui region hospitals was approved by the legislature pursuant to Act 103, Session Laws of Hawaii 2015, and a subsequent transfer agreement approved by the governor, Maui region board of directors, Hawaii health systems corporation, and Kaiser Foundation Hospitals LLC on January 14, 2016.

     Pursuant to section 89-10, Hawaii Revised Statutes, requests for appropriations for collective bargaining cost items negotiated between the employer and exclusive representatives are to be presented to the legislature for their consideration.  This measure is requesting a general fund appropriation to make payments to affected Maui region hospital employees pursuant to supplemental agreements negotiated between the employer and exclusive representatives after the transfer agreement was approved.

     The appropriation for these respective supplemental agreements will ensure that operations will not be negatively impacted and the health care of the community will not be compromised.

     SECTION 2.  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       -       for collective bargaining cost items to facilitate the transition of affected Maui region hospital employees from employment with the Maui region hospitals to Maui Health System, a Kaiser Foundation Hospitals LLC.

     The sum appropriated shall be expended by the department of budget and finance for the purposes of this Act.

     SECTION 3.  The appropriations made under section 2 shall not lapse at the end of the fiscal year for which the appropriations are made; provided that all moneys from the appropriation unencumbered as of June 30, 2018, shall lapse as of that date.

     SECTION 4.  This Act shall take effect on July 1, 2050.
