RE:    S.B. No. 1090

       S.D. 1

Honorable Donna Mercado Kim

President of the Senate

Twenty-Eighth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2015

State of Hawaii

Madam:

     Your Committee on Judiciary and Labor, to which was referred S.B. No. 1090 entitled:

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO THE EMPLOYEES' RETIREMENT SYSTEM,"

begs leave to report as follows:

     The purpose and intent of this measure is to require the State and counties to provide the Employees' Retirement System with payroll and personnel transaction records in a format required by the System and require certain payments from State and county agencies that fail to do so.

     Your Committee received testimony in support of this measure from the Employees' Retirement System.  Your Committee received comments on this measure from the Department of Education.

     Your Committee finds that this measure strengthens the authority of the Employees' Retirement System to obtain accurate payroll and personnel transaction records.

     Your Committee has amended this measure by inserting an effective date of January 7, 2059, to encourage further discussion.

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Judiciary and Labor that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 1090, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 1090, S.D. 1, and be referred to the Committee on Ways and Means.

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