                                   RE:  S.B. No. 2927
                                        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.
2927 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 bill is to require an agency to respond
to a request for a personal record within ten working days
following the date of receipt by the agency instead of within ten
working days following the date of the request.  This
clarification is intended to reduce the confusion that has
existed regarding when the response period begins.

     Your Committee received testimony from the Office of
Information Practices in favor of this bill.

     Your Committee has amended the bill by adding the words:
"of the request" to modify "receipt" to clarify what is being
received by the agency and made technical non-substantive
amendments to correct punctuation marks.

     Your Committee finds that this bill will improve agency
compliance with both the letter and spirit of the Uniform
Information Practices Act.

2927, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Second
Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 2927, S.D. 1, and
be placed on the calendar for Third Reading.

                                   Respectfully submitted on
