                                   RE:  S.B. No. 3082
                                        




Honorable Norman Mizuguchi
President of the Senate
Twentieth State Legislature
Regular Session of 2000
State of Hawaii

Sir:

     Your Committee on Transportation and Intergovernmental
Affairs, to which was referred S.B. No. 3082 entitled: 

     "A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO UNAUTHORIZED CONTROL OF
     PROPELLED VEHICLES,"

begs leave to report as follows:

     The purpose of this measure is to amend the state of mind
required for the offense of unauthorized control of a propelled
vehicle to include recklessness as an alternative mental state.

     Testimony in support of this measure was received from the
City and County of Honolulu Prosecuting Attorney, and the
Honolulu Police Department.  

     Your Committee finds that this measure will allow the jury
to consider additional evidence to the offense of unauthorized
control of a propelled vehicle instead of only considering
knowing or intentional conduct.
     
     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your
Committee on Transportation and Intergovernmental Affairs that is
attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the
intent and purpose of S.B. No. 3082 and recommends that it pass
Second Reading and be referred to the Committee on Judiciary.
