RE: H.B. No. 1748
H.D. 1
Honorable Scott K. Saiki
Speaker, House of Representatives
Thirtieth State Legislature
Regular Session of 2020
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committee on Judiciary, to which was referred H.B. No. 1748 entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO WILDLIFE OFFENSES,"
begs leave to report as follows:
Your Committee finds that requiring the forfeiture and disposal of contraband involved in the commission of certain wildlife offenses will further deter future criminal activity and prevent wildlife trafficking.
Your Committee has amended this measure by:
(1) Removing firearms from the list of items that are to be considered contraband and be forfeited and disposed of by the State for a first conviction of certain wildlife trafficking or hunting offenses; and
(2) Making technical, nonsubstantive amendments for the purposes of clarity, consistency, and style.
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 H.B. No. 1748, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 1748, H.D. 1, and be placed on the calendar for Third Reading.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Judiciary,
