RE: H.R. No. 144
H.D. 1
Honorable Scott K. Saiki
Speaker, House of Representatives
Thirty-Second State Legislature
Regular Session of 2024
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committee on Labor & Government Operations, to which was referred H.R. No. 144 entitled:
"HOUSE RESOLUTION REQUESTING THE DEPARTMENT OF HUMAN RESOURCES DEVELOPMENT TO CONDUCT A SAMPLE SURVEY OF FOR-PROFIT, NON-PROFIT, AND GOVERNMENT ORGANIZATIONS IN HAWAII THAT HAVE SUCCESSFULLY IMPLEMENTED REMOTE WORK, HYBRID WORK, OR TELEWORK ARRANGEMENTS,"
begs leave to report as follows:
Your Committee notes that conducting a survey can help identify the strategies and best practices of successful implementation of remote work arrangements. Your Committee notes data from the survey provide valuable insights that can inform the development of policies and initiatives aimed at supporting remote work.
Your Committee has amended this measure by requesting the Department of Human Resources Development to work in coordination with the University of Hawaii Economic Research Organization to identify areas in the State that have a combination of lower housing costs and decreased access to good-paying jobs.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Labor & Government Operations that is attached to this report, your Committee concurs with the intent and purpose of H.R. No. 144, as amended herein, and recommends that it be referred to your Committee on Finance in the form attached hereto as H.R. No. 144, H.D. 1.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Labor & Government Operations,
