Bill > HB1029

This bill appropriates funds for collective bargaining cost items for Bargaining Unit (3), which typically represents professional and technical employees in the Hawaii state government, for the fiscal biennium of 2025-2027. The bill allocates funding from various sources including general funds, special funds, federal funds, trust funds, and other fund types across multiple state departments such as the Department of Education, the Judiciary, and the Hawaii Health Systems Corporation. The funds are specifically designated to cover salary adjustments and other cost items negotiated between the State and the exclusive representative of Bargaining Unit (3), including provisions for employees within that bargaining unit as well as excluded employees who are on similar compensation plans. The bill ensures that salary increases and cost adjustments will be paid proportionally from the respective funding sources, with any unexpended funds lapsing at the end of each fiscal year (June 30, 2026, and June 30, 2027). The total appropriations span multiple parts of the bill, covering different state agencies and funding sources, with general funds making up the largest portion of the allocations. The bill is set to take effect on July 1, 2025, and provides a comprehensive funding mechanism for negotiated employee compensation adjustments.
