                                 RE: H.B. No. 1896
                                     H.D. 1




Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say
Speaker, House of Representatives
Twentieth State Legislature
Regular Session of 2000
State of Hawaii

Sir:

     Your Committees on Public Safety and Military Affairs and
Judiciary and Hawaiian Affairs, to which was referred H.B. No.
1896 entitled: 

     "A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO THE INTERSTATE COMPACT FOR
     THE SUPERVISION OF ADULT OFFENDERS,"

beg leave to report as follows:

     The purpose of this bill is to authorize state participation
in the Interstate Compact for the Supervision of Adult Offenders.

     Your Committees received testimony in support of this
measure from the Hawaii Paroling Authority, and the office of the
Prosecuting Attorney of the City and County of Honolulu.  The
Judiciary submitted testimony in support of the intent of this
measure and offered proposed amendments.

     Your Committees find that the state should participate in
the Compact and note that the language of the Compact must
closely follow the language of the original draft.  However, your
Committees have amended this bill by correcting drafting errors
on page 33 of the bill as received.  Language referring to
"contract administrator" has been corrected to refer to "compact
administrator."

     Your Committees have also deleted language, found on page 9
of the bill as received, that gave the Interstate Commission
authority to promulgate rules with the force and effect of
statutory law in compacting states.

 
 
                                 STAND. COM. REP. NO. 112-00
                                 Page 2

 
     As affirmed by the records of votes of the members of your
Committees on Public Safety and Military Affairs and Judiciary
and Hawaiian Affairs that are attached to this report, your
Committees are in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No.
1896, as amended herein, and recommend that it pass Second
Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 1896, H.D. 1, and
be referred to the Committee on Finance.

                                   Respectfully submitted on
                                   behalf of the members of the
                                   Committees on Public Safety
                                   and Military Affairs and
                                   Judiciary and Hawaiian
                                   Affairs,
