                                   RE:  S.B. No. 1274
                                        




Honorable Norman Mizuguchi
President of the Senate
Twentieth State Legislature
Regular Session of 1999
State of Hawaii

Sir:

     Your Committee on Ways and Means, to which was referred S.B.
No. 1274 entitled: 

     "A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO PUBLIC SAFETY,"

begs leave to report as follows:

     The purpose of this bill is to transfer the functions and
authority relating to after hours security contracts at
Department of Education facilities from the Department of Public
Safety to the Department of Education.

     Your Committee finds that the Department of Education is in
a better position to manage and control the security contracts
for their own facilities.  By eliminating the necessity of
involving the Department of Public Safety, the Department of
Education will have improved accountability and management of
their security services and be able to efficiently respond to
their security needs.

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your
Committee on Ways and Means that is attached to this report, your
Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No.
1274 and recommends that it pass Third Reading.
