STAND. COM. REP. NO.2511

Honolulu, Hawaii

, 2002

RE: S.B. No. 2409

S.D. 1

 

 

Honorable Robert Bunda

President of the Senate

Twenty-First State Legislature

Regular Session of 2002

State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committee on Judiciary, to which was referred S.B. No. 2409, S.D. 1, entitled:

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO PUBLIC SAFETY,"

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this measure is to require civil process servers to wear identification badges and carry wallet-sized identification cards.

Your Committee finds that members of the general public often have difficulty ascertaining whether or not process servers approaching them with official-looking documents are officers of the judiciary serving civil process or impostors. To help ameliorate this concern, your Committee finds it necessary to require civil process servers to carry appropriate identification.

As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Judiciary that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 2409, S.D. 1, and recommends that it pass Third Reading.

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Judiciary,

____________________________
