Sir:
Your Committee on Finance, to which was referred S.B. No. 2615, S.D. 1, H.D. 2, entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO COUNTY LABOR STANDARDS,"
begs leave to report as follows:
Your Committee received testimony in support of this measure from the Department of Labor and Industrial Relations; Office of the Mayor of the City and County of Honolulu; one member of the Kauaʻi County Council; two members of the Maui County Council; one member of the Hawaii County Council; and one member of the Honolulu City Council. Your Committee received testimony in opposition to this measure from the Maui Chamber of Commerce. Your Committee received comments on this measure from Pacific Resource Partnership; NFIB, Hawaii Chapter; Operating Engineers Local Union No. 3; Chamber of Commerce Hawaii; and Society of Human Resource Management Hawaii.
Your Committee has amended this measure by specifying that the counties are authorized to require certain contractors, rather than employers, to disclose information regarding its employees' wages, benefits, hours, and employment status and deny, revoke, or suspend a building permit application if a contractor is found to be in violation of laws relating to wages, benefits, hours, and employment status.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Finance that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 2615, S.D. 1, H.D. 2, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Third Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 2615, S.D. 1, H.D. 3.
