STAND. COM. REP. NO. 2496
Honolulu, Hawaii
RE: S.B. No. 2828
Honorable Ronald D. Kouchi
President of the Senate
Thirty-Second State Legislature
Regular Session of 2024
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committee on Government Operations, to which was referred S.B. No. 2828 entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO THE CONVERSION OF POSITIONS IN THE DEPARTMENT OF ACCOUNTING AND GENERAL SERVICES,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The
purpose and intent of this measure is to require the Department of Accounting and General
Services to convert vacant Engineer (Buildings) V positions to Project Manager
II positions and ensure that the salaries of the converted positions are comparable
to Project Manager II class, SR-26.
Your Committee received testimony in support of this measure from the Department of Accounting and General Services.
Your Committee finds that the State continues to face challenges in recruiting engineers. This measure, through position reclassification, allows the Department of Accounting and General Services to obtain the necessary personnel to support the State's vital public works projects.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Government Operations that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 2828 and recommends that it pass Second Reading and be referred to your Committee on Ways and Means.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Government Operations,
|
