                                   RE:  S.C.R. No. 104
                                        




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.C.R. No. 104 entitled:

     "SENATE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION ASKING THE CONGRESS OF THE
     UNITED STATES TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE OF AVAILABILITY OF
     OBTAINING A FALSE IDENTIFICATION VIA THE INTERNET,"

begs leave to report as follows:

     The purpose of the measure is to ask the United States
Congress to address the issue of availability of obtaining a
false identification via the Internet.

     Testimony in support of the measure was received from the
Honolulu Police Department, Legislative Information Services of
Hawaii, Hawaii League of Savings Institutions, Hawaii Restaurant
Association, and Waikiki Health Center.

     Your Committee finds that the availability of fraudulent
identification on the Internet has become a serious problem.  A
major concern is that many minors are using the false
identification obtained from the Internet to purchase both liquor
and tobacco products.

     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 concurs with the intent
and purpose of S.C.R. No. 104, and recommends that it be referred
to the Committee on Judiciary.
