STAND. COM. REP. NO. 126

Honolulu, Hawaii

, 2005

RE: H.B. No. 589

H.D. 1

 

 

 

Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-Third State Legislature

Regular Session of 2005

State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committee on Judiciary, to which was referred H.B. No. 589 entitled:

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO THE HAWAII CRIMINAL JUSTICE DATA CENTER,"

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this bill is to clarify that the Hawaii Criminal Justice Data Center is required to take a full frontal photograph of an applicant's face for a Hawaii state identification card.

The Office of Attorney General testified in support of the bill.

Your Committee finds that requiring a full frontal photograph to be affixed to a state identification card will protect Hawaii's citizens against identity theft.

Your Committee has amended the bill by making technical, nonsubstantive changes for style, clarity, and consistency.

As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Judiciary that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No.

 

 

589, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Second Reading

in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 589, H.D. 1, and be referred to the Committee on Finance.

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Judiciary,
