STAND. COM. REP. NO. 966

Honolulu, Hawaii

, 2005

RE: S.B. No. 613

S.D. 2

 

 

Honorable Robert Bunda

President of the Senate

Twenty-Third State Legislature

Regular Session of 2005

State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committee on Ways and Means, to which was referred S.B. No. 613, S.D. 1, entitled:

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO INTERMEDIATE SANCTIONS,"

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this measure is to appropriate funds for the Interagency Council on Intermediate Sanctions to carry out its five-year strategic plan to reduce adult offender recidivism and institutionalize enhancements to the Hawaii criminal justice system.

Your Committee finds that funding is necessary to implement the five-year strategic plan of the Interagency Council on Intermediate Sanctions. This strategic plan is part of a collaborative effort among various State agencies with the goal of reducing Hawaii's adult offender recidivism rates in a cost-effective manner by utilizing an "evidence-based practice" approach.

Your Committee has amended this measure by changing the appropriations to unspecified amounts, and by making other technical nonsubstantive amendments.

As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Ways and Means that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 613, S.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Third Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 613, S.D. 2.

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Ways and Means,
