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

Sir:

     Your Committee on Judiciary and Hawaiian Affairs, to which
was referred S.B. No. 2927, S.D. 1, entitled: 

     "A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO CHAPTER 92F, UNIFORM
     INFORMATION PRACTICES ACT (MODIFIED),"

begs leave to report as follows:

     The purpose of this measure is to clarify that the ten-day
time period allowed for an agency to provide access to an
individual's personal record commences with the agency's receipt
of the request.

     Testimony in support of this bill was provided by the Office
of Information Practices.

     Your Committee finds that this measure will eliminate
uncertainty as to the schedule for responding to individuals'
requests to review and have copies made of personal records.

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your
Committee on Judiciary and Hawaiian Affairs that is attached to
this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and
purpose of S.B. No. 2927, S.D. 1, and recommends that it pass
Second Reading and be placed on the calendar for Third Reading.
