Bill > HB1037

This bill provides funding and authorizations for collective bargaining cost items for state employees in bargaining unit (11) and their excluded counterparts for the fiscal biennium 2025-2027. Specifically, the bill appropriates funds for salary adjustments negotiated between the State of Hawaii and the bargaining unit representative, though the actual monetary amounts are not specified in the bill text (showing $0 for general, special, federal, and other funds). The bill ensures that any salary increases for employees paid from federal, special, or other funds will be proportionally funded from those respective sources. The legislation also includes provisions that any appropriated funds not expended or encumbered by the end of fiscal years 2026 and 2027 will lapse, and acknowledges that the state's general fund expenditure ceiling for fiscal year 2025-2026 will be exceeded. The bill is designed to implement negotiated compensation changes for a specific group of state employees, with a notable future effective date of July 1, 2050. The bill appears to be a standard mechanism for implementing collective bargaining agreements and associated cost adjustments for state workers.
