RE: H.B. No. 2448

H.D. 1

 

 

 

Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-Third State Legislature

Regular Session of 2006

State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committee on Public Safety & Military Affairs, to which was referred H.B. No. 2448 entitled:

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO CORRECTIONAL FACILITIES,"

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this bill is to enhance security in our detention facilities by upgrading their surveillance systems. This bill appropriates funds for a consultant to determine the costs of upgrading the facilities' surveillance systems.

The Department of Public Safety (DPS) testified in support of this bill.

Your Committee has amended this measure by:

(1) Referring to DPS's facilities as correctional facilities instead of detention facilities; and

(2) Making technical, nonsubstantive amendments for clarity, consistency, and style.

 

As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Public Safety & Military Affairs that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 2448, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 2448, H.D. 1, and be referred to the Committee on Finance.

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