LEGISLATIVE ALERT: EUTF Reform Legislation Needs Testimony - Hearing March 29, 5:00 pm, House Finance Committee

— filed under:

SB 2849 SD2 is legislation that reforms the governance structure of the Employer Union Trust Fund and will insure that the interests of beneficiaries are placed ahead of the state’s interests. It is essential to fixing a system that no longer works and continues to place the burden on employees to fund their own health care.

SB 2849 SD2 will allow establishment of trust funds directly negotiated between the union and employer allowing more control over how employee contributions and benefits are established. This legislation is supported by HGEA, UPW, Hawaii State Firefighters, SHOPO, and UHPA.

Please submit testimony endorsing this legislation and request that the House Finance committee vote to support it. Testimony can be submitted 24 hours in advance in ONE of the following ways:
