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

Sir:

     Your Committee on Conference on the disagreeing vote of the
Senate to the amendments proposed by the House of Representatives
in S.B. No. 2533, S.D. 1, H.D. 2, entitled:  

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

having met, and after full and free discussion, has agreed to
recommend and does recommend to the respective Houses the final
passage of this bill in an amended form.

     The purpose of this measure is to allow assessment of victim
compensation fees on persons who enter deferred pleas of guilty
or nolo contendere.

     Your Committee has amended this measure by reinserting
language from the Senate draft of the bill amending section 853-
1, Hawaii Revised Statutes, to specify that payment of the
compensation fee shall be a condition of a deferred acceptance of
guilty or no contest plea, unless the defendant is unable to pay.

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the managers of your
Committee on Conference that is attached to this report, your

 
a                                                     
                            CONFERENCE COMMITTEE REPORT NO.92
