The full story
The conference committee agreed to CD1 for SB 2338, a bill that revises employment and compensation rules for the Hawaii Housing Finance and Development Corporation (HHFDC) and the Hawaii Public Housing Authority (HPHA). Managers described provisions that limit employment contracts to a maximum of three years, eliminate automatic renewals and severance or financial buyout provisions, rename the executive assistant post to deputy executive director, create a finance manager position, and set salary caps so HHFDC and HCDA executive salaries do not exceed 99% of the governor's salary.
