RE: H.R. No. 63

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. 63 entitled:

"HOUSE RESOLUTION REQUESTING THE AUDITOR TO CONDUCT A SUNRISE REVIEW OF THE POTENTIAL IMPACTS OF LICENSURE AND REGULATION OF CERTAIN HUMAN RESOURCES MANAGEMENT PERSONNEL,"

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this measure is to request The Auditor to conduct a sunrise review of the potential impacts of licensure and regulation of certain human resources management personnel.

Your Committee received testimony in support of this measure from Hawaii Government Employee Association-University of Hawaii and Hawaii Government Employee Association. Your Committee received testimony with comments of this measure from the Office of the Auditor.

Your committee notes that the legislative auditor testified that no bill was introduced this year to use as a baseline to complete the request outlined in this resolution. However, your committee points out that HB1646 would serve that purpose.

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. 63 and recommends that it be referred to your Committee on Consumer Protection & Commerce.

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Labor & Government Operations,
