STAND. COM. REP. NO. 905-04

Honolulu, Hawaii

, 2004

RE: S.B. No. 2647

S.D. 1

 

 

 

Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-Second State Legislature

Regular Session of 2004

State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committee on Public Safety and Military Affairs, to which was referred S.B. No. 2647, S.D. 1, entitled:

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO CORRECTIONS,"

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this measure is to update the composition of the panel charged with nominating members of the Hawaii Paroling Authority.

Specifically, this measure would replace the reference to the Hawaii Council of Churches with a reference to the Interfaith Alliance Hawaii. This measure would also replace the reference to the Hawaii Correctional Association with a reference to the Hawaii Criminal Justice Association.

Testimony in support of this measure was received from the Department of Public Safety.

Your Committee finds that the Interfaith Alliance Hawaii should replace the Hawaii Council of Churches, which has disbanded. Your Committee also finds that the Hawaii Criminal Justice Association should replace the Hawaii Correctional Association as the latter has effectively ceased to exist and the Hawaii Criminal Justice Association is its successor.

As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Public Safety and Military Affairs that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 2647, S.D. 1, and recommends that it pass Second Reading and be referred to the Committee on Judiciary.

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Public Safety and Military Affairs,
