STAND. COM. REP. NO. 2727

Honolulu, Hawaii

RE: S.B. No. 2606

 

 

Honorable Robert Bunda

President of the Senate

Twenty-Third State Legislature

Regular Session of 2006

State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committee on Ways and Means, to which was referred S.B. No. 2606 entitled:

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO BAIL,"

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this measure is to eliminate the need for an order of the court to escheat unclaimed moneys deposited by way of bond or bail.

Your Committee understands that this proposal will increase the efficiency of processing unclaimed bail or bond moneys by allowing these moneys to revert to the State once due notice to the person who deposited the funds has expired.

As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Ways and Means that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 2606 and recommends that it pass Third Reading.

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Ways and Means,
