COM. REP. NO. 22
Honolulu, Hawaii
, 2021
RE: H.B. No. 670
H.D. 1
Honorable Scott K. Saiki
Speaker, House of Representatives
Thirty-First State Legislature
Regular Session of 2021
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committee on Labor & Tourism, to which was referred H.B. No. 670 entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO THE EMPLOYEES' RETIREMENT SYSTEM,"
begs leave to report as follows:
Your Committee received testimony in support of this measure from Common Cause Hawaii, Indivisible Hawaii, and nine individuals. Your Committee received comments on this measure from the Employees' Retirement System.
Your Committee finds that public officers and employees are responsible for upholding the public's trust in government and democracy. The public's belief in government and democracy become strained when public officers and employees participate in misconduct in their employment, while maintaining the benefits of their employment. This measure will demonstrate that the State takes the ethics of its employees seriously.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Labor & Tourism that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 670, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 670, H.D. 1, and be referred to your Committee on Judiciary & Hawaiian Affairs.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Labor & Tourism,
