                                 RE: H.B. No. 303
                                     H.D. 1




Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say
Speaker, House of Representatives
Twentieth State Legislature
Regular Session of 2000
State of Hawaii

Sir:

     Your Committee on Judiciary and Hawaiian Affairs, to which
was referred H.B. No. 303 entitled: 

     "A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO IDENTIFICATION,"

begs leave to report as follows:

     The purpose of this bill is to require that any replica or
false identification clearly state that the document is not
authentic and to prohibit persons ages 18 to 21 from using false
identification to purchase alcohol, obtain employment to sell
alcohol on licensed premises, or to enter adult establishments.

     The Attorney General and the Honolulu Police Department
testified in support of the intent of the measure.  The Hawaii
League of Savings Institutions, the Hawaii State Association of
Counties, and the Legislative Information Services of Hawaii
commented on the measure.

     Your Committee finds that there is a growing problem of
minors and persons ages 18 through 21 purchasing fraudulent
identification documents.

     Your Committee has amended this bill by deleting its
contents and replacing it with the contents of H.B. No. 2411
which creates a new felony offense that criminalizes the sale or
manufacture of deceptive identification documents.


 
 
 
 
                                 STAND. COM. REP. NO. 406-00

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your
Committee on Judiciary and Hawaiian Affairs that is attached to
this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and
purpose of H.B. No. 303, as amended herein, and recommends that
it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No.
303, H.D. 1, and be referred to the Committee on Finance.

                                   Respectfully submitted on
                                   behalf of the members of the
                                   Committee on Judiciary &
                                   Hawaiian Affairs,



                                   ______________________________
