STAND. COM. REP. NO. 783

 

Honolulu, Hawaii

                  

 

RE:    S.B. No. 1083

 

 

 

Honorable Donna Mercado Kim

President of the Senate

Twenty-Seventh State Legislature

Regular Session of 2013

State of Hawaii

 

Madam:

 

     Your Committee on Ways and Means, to which was referred S.B. No. 1083 entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO TRANSPORTATION OF SCHOOL CHILDREN,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose and intent of this measure is to control school bus vendor costs by exempting contracts for transportation services for school children from wage certification requirements.

 

     The Board of Education submitted written comments in support of this measure.

 

     Your Committee finds that the wage certification requirement has made it difficult for bus vendors to make competitive bids to provide transportation services to the Department of Education.  Removing this requirement will stimulate competitive bidding, which will help to reduce escalating transportation costs.

 

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Ways and Means that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 1083 and recommends that it pass Third Reading.

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Ways and Means,
