                                 RE: H.B. No. 2592
                                     




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

Sir:

     Your Committee on Public Safety and Military Affairs, to
which was referred H.B. No. 2592 entitled: 

     "A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO CRIME VICTIM COMPENSATION
     COMMISSION,"

begs leave to report as follows:

     The purpose of this bill is to allow the Crime Victim
Compensation Commission to appoint a civil service exempt
Executive Director and Administrative Assistant.

     Your Committee received testimony in support of this measure
from the Administrator of the Crime Victim Compensation
Commission and from a Commissioner of the Crime Victim
Compensation Commission.

     Your Committee finds that as a quasi-judicial body
attempting to move from general funding to self-sufficiency, the
Commission should have maximum flexibility to select a leadership
team who can best achieve these goals.

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your
Committee on Public Safety and Military Affairs that is attached
to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and
purpose of H.B. No. 2592 and recommends that it pass Second
Reading and be referred to the Committee on Finance.

                                   Committee on Public Safety and
                                   Military Affairs,
