Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say

Speaker, House of Representatives

Sir:

Your Committee on Legislative Management, to which was referred H.B. No. 1918 entitled:

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO COMMISSION ON SALARIES,"

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this bill is to establish a commission on salaries within the Department of Human Resources Development that would be responsible for reviewing and recommending salaries for:

(1) Justices and judges of all state courts;

(2) Members of the Legislature;

(3) The Governor and Lieutenant Governor;

(4) The Administrative Director of the State; and

(5) Department heads and executive officers, and their deputies or assistants, excluding the University of Hawaii and the Department of Education.

This bill also repeals the Executive Salary Commission and the Judicial Salary Commission.

This bill will become effective upon ratification of a constitutional amendment authorizing the establishment of the commission on salaries.

The Hawaii Government Employees Association and a concerned individual testified in support of this bill. The Judiciary offered comments.

As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Legislative Management that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 1918 and recommends that it pass Second Reading and be referred to the Committee on Judiciary.

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Legislative Management,
