Honorable Norman Mizuguchi
President of the Senate

State of Hawaii

Sir:

     Your Committee on Conference on the disagreeing vote of the
House of Representatives to the amendments proposed by the Senate
in H.B. No. 955, H.D. 1, S.D. 1, entitled:

    "A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO CRIME,"

having met, and after full and free discussion, has agreed to
recommend and does recommend to the respective Houses the final
passage of this bill in an amended form.

     The purpose of this bill is to make it a felony to take
sexual photographs or videotapes of a person without that
person's consent and when the person expects privacy.  This bill
also makes it a misdemeanor to knowingly possess such materials.
This bill also removes the administrative cap placed on the crime
victim compensation commission and creates an offense for
concealing runaway minors.

     Your Committee on Conference amended this bill by:

     1.  Requiring the knowing state of mind for the offense of
         Violation of Privacy in the First Degree;

     2.  Requiring that the prosecution for Violation of Privacy
         in the Second Degree be for instances other than those
         involving another person in a stage of undress or sexual
         activity; and

     3.  Deleting the provisions that penalize persons who
         conceal runaway minors.

     Your Committee on Conference is in accord with the intent
and purpose of H.B. No. 955, H.D. 1, S.D. 1, as amended herein,
and recommends that it pass Final Reading in the form attached
hereto as H.B. No. 955, H.D. 1, S.D. 1, C.D. 1.
