RE:   H.B. No. 2598

      H.D. 1

 

 

 

 

Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-Sixth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2012

State of Hawaii

 

Sir:

 

     Your Committee on Public Safety & Military Affairs, to which was referred H.B. No. 2598 entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO PRE-SENTENCE REPORTS,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose of this measure is to increase efficiency in the pre-sentence investigative process as it relates to convicted defendants by deleting the Intake Service Center as an agency responsible for preparing the pre-sentence diagnosis and report for defendants and for giving notices of the Crime Victim Compensation Act and other specified restitution procedures.

 

     The Department of Public Safety supported the measure.

 

     Your Committee has amended this measure by 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. 2598, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 2598, 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,
