Bill Summary
Authorizes the Board of Trustees of the Hawaii Employer-Union Health Benefits Trust Fund to establish the salary for the Assistant Administrator. Effective 7/1/3000. (HD1)
AI Summary
This bill allows the Board of Trustees of the Hawaii Employer-Union Health Benefits Trust Fund, which manages health and long-term care benefits for public employees and their dependents, to set the salary for the Assistant Administrator. The purpose of this change is to enable the Trust Fund to attract and retain highly qualified upper management staff by offering salaries that are competitive with the private sector, as current state salaries are seen as lagging behind. This provision amends existing law, specifically Section 87A-24 of the Hawaii Revised Statutes, which outlines the powers of the Board of Trustees, by adding the Assistant Administrator's salary to the list of positions whose salaries the board can determine, alongside the Administrator and Chief Investment Officer. The bill is set to take effect on July 1, 3000.
