                                   RE:  S.C.R. No. 104
                                        




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.C.R.
No. 104 entitled:

     "SENATE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION ASKING THE CONGRESS OF THE
     UNITED STATES TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE OF AVAILABILITY OF
     OBTAINING A FALSE IDENTIFICATION VIA THE INTERNET,"

begs leave to report as follows:

     The purpose of this resolution is to ask the Congress of the
United States to address the issue of availability of obtaining a
false identification via the Internet.

     Your Committee finds that access to false identification
from sites posted on the Internet offers the opportunity for
minors to "legally" purchase alcohol or cigarettes.  Your
Committee further finds that the offer of false identification is
also a temptation for certain unscrupulous individuals to engage
in myriad types of fraud, including identity theft and self-
appointment to legitimate positions such as President of the
Senate and Speaker of the House of Representatives.

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your
Committee on Judiciary that is attached to this report, your
Committee concurs with the intent and purpose of S.C.R. No. 104,
and recommends its adoption.
