                                        S.D. 1




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

Sir:

     Your Committee on Ways and Means, to which was referred S.B.
No. 2152, S.D. 1, 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 Hawaii's
participation in the Interstate Compact for the Supervision of
Adult Offenders.

     Your Committee finds that Congress, by enacting the Crime
Control Act, 4 U.S.C. Section 112 (1965), has authorized and
encouraged compacts for cooperative efforts and mutual assistance
in the prevention of crime.  The compact entered into by this
bill creates an interstate commission that will establish uniform
procedures to manage the movement between states of adults placed
under community supervision and released to the community under
the jurisdiction of courts, paroling authorities, and various
criminal justice agencies.

     Your Committee agrees with the intent of this bill, and
finds that the Compact provides for the promotion of public
safety and protection of the rights of victims through the
control and regulation of the interstate movement of offenders in
the community; provides for the effective tracking, supervision,

and rehabilitation of these offenders by the sending and
receiving states; and equitably distributes the costs, benefits,
and obligations of the compact among the compacting states.

     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.
2152, S.D. 1, and recommends that it pass Third Reading.

                                 Respectfully submitted on behalf
                                 of the members of the Committee
                                 on Ways and Means,
