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. 3133, S.D. 1, H.D. 1, entitled:  

     "A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO CRIME," 

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 bill is to:

     (1)  Expand the prohibition of street solicitation of
          prostitution in Waikiki to other areas designated by
          the council of the appropriate county; and

     (2)  Deny bail to those persons arrested for violating terms
          of bail or probation upon entering these prohibited
          designated areas.

     Your Committee on Conference finds that allowing counties to
designate additional areas as "prostitution-free zones" may

 
a

provide counties with a way to address the proliferation of
prostitution beyond the Waikiki area.

     After careful consideration, your Committee on Conference
has amended this measure by:

     (1)  Re-inserting all references to "Waikiki" as an area
          designated as a zone of significant prostitution-
          related activity; and

     (2)  Clarifying that county designations are limited to only
          four special areas within the State; and

     (3)  Making technical, non-substantive changes for the
          purposes of clarity and style.

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the managers of your
Committee on Conference that is attached to this report, your
Committee on Conference is in accord with the intent and purpose
of S.B. No. 3133, S.D. 1, H.D. 1, as amended herein, and
recommends that it pass Final Reading in the form attached hereto
as S.B. No. 3133, S.D. 1, H.D. 1, C.D. 1.

                                   Respectfully submitted on
                                   behalf of the managers:
