STAND. COM. REP. NO. 1154

 

Honolulu, Hawaii

                  

 

RE:    S.C.R. No. 185

       S.D. 1

 

 

 

Honorable Colleen Hanabusa

President of the Senate

Twenty-Fifth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2009

State of Hawaii

 

Madam:

 

     Your Committee on Public Safety and Military Affairs, to which was referred S.C.R. No. 185 entitled:

 

"SENATE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION REQUESTING THE STATE AUDITOR TO EXAMINE THE RATIONALE AND MANAGEMENT OF THE HAWAII PAROLING AUTHORITY,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose of this measure is to request the State Auditor to examine the rationale and management of the Hawaii Paroling Authority.

 

     Testimony in support of this measure was submitted by one state agency.  Written testimony presented to the Committee may be reviewed on the Legislature's website.

 

     Your Committee finds that the Hawaii Paroling Authority has never had the State Auditor conduct a comprehensive audit on its operations and procedures.  Your Committee also finds that an audit report from the State Auditor may provide recommendations that the Hawaii Paroling Authority can utilize and implement to may make their operations and procedures more cost efficient and effective.

 

     Your Committee has amended this measure by making technical, nonsubstantive amendments for the purpose of clarity.

 

     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 concurs with the intent and purpose of S.C.R. No. 185, as amended herein, and recommends that it be referred to the Committee on Ways and Means, in the form attached hereto as S.C.R. No. 185, S.D. 1.

 

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