Speaker, House of Representatives

Sir:
Your Committee on Finance, to which was referred H.B. No. 2919 entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO THE EMPLOYEES' RETIREMENT SYSTEM,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose of this bill is to provide equality in benefits to people doing similar work by expanding the definition of "sewer worker" to include sewer maintenance working supervisors, wastewater collection system inspection supervisors, wastewater collection system district supervisors, and wastewater collection system field services supervisors.
The Department of Environmental Services and Department of Human Resources of the City and County of Honolulu; Hawaii Government Employees' Association, AFSCME Local 152, AFL-CIO; and a concerned individual testified in support of this bill. The Employees' Retirement System Board of Trustees opposed this measure.
Your Committee has amended this bill by making technical, nonsubstantive amendments for purposes of clarity, consistency, and style.
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 H.B. No. 2919, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Third Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 2919, H.D. 1.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Finance,
