                                   RE:  S.B. No. 2152
                                        S.D. 1




Honorable Norman Mizuguchi
President of the Senate
Twentieth State Legislature
Regular Session of 2000
State of Hawaii

Sir:

     Your Committee on Judiciary, to which was referred S.B. No.
2152 entitled: 

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

begs 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 Committee agrees with the intent of this bill, and
finds that the interstate compact provides a necessary framework
for the promotion of public safety in Hawaii and the protection
of the rights of victims through the control and regulation of
the interstate movement of offenders in the community.  Your
Committee further finds that this bill will help to provide for
the effective tracking, supervision, and rehabilitation of these
offenders and will further help to equitably distribute the
costs, benefits, and obligations of the compact among the
compacting states.

     Upon further consideration, your Committee has amended the
bill as follows:


 
a                                                     SB2152 SD1
 
 
 
 
 
                                   STAND. COM. REP. NO. 2080
                                   Page 2


     (1)  By deleting language specifying that the rules of the
          interstate commission "shall have the force and effect
          of statutory law"; and

     (2)  By making technical, nonsubstantive changes for the
          purposes of clarity and consistency.

     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 S.B. No.
2152, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Second
Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 2152, S.D. 1, and
be referred to the Committee on Ways and Means.

                                   Respectfully submitted on
                                   behalf of the members of the
                                   Committee on Judiciary,



                                   ______________________________
                                   AVERY B. CHUMBLEY, Co-Chair



                                   ______________________________
                                   MATTHEW M. MATSUNAGA, Co-Chair
