STAND. COM. REP. NO.165

Honolulu, Hawaii

, 2001

RE: H.B. No. 1664

 

 

Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-First State Legislature

Regular Session of 2001

State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committee on Public Safety and Military Affairs, to which was referred H.B. No. 1664 entitled:

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO ACT 278, SESSION LAWS OF HAWAII 1999,"

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this bill is to assure that the Crime Victim Compensation Commission (CVCC) can continue to deposit nontax revenue into the Crime Victim Compensation Special Fund.

The Legislative Reference Bureau and the CVCC submitted testimony in support of this bill.

Act 278, Session Laws of Hawaii (SLH) 1999, temporarily repealed the 30 percent cap on CVCC's operating expenses in section 351-62(d), Hawaii Revised Statutes, for a two-year period. Act 278 also provided for the repeal of section 351-62(d) on July 1, 2001. This situation is further complicated because subsequent amendments were made to section 351-62(d) in Act 115, SLH 2000.

Your Committee finds that this measure seeks to preserve section 351-62(d) to survive its 2001 repeal date, in the form in which it read before Act 278, while preserving the amendments made by Act 215.

 

As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Public Safety and Military Affairs that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 1664 and recommends that it pass Second Reading and be referred to the Committee on Judiciary and Hawaiian Affairs.

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Public Safety and Military Affairs,
