Honorable Robert Bunda

President of the Senate

Twenty-First State Legislature

Regular Session of 2001

State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committee on Conference on the disagreeing vote of the House of Representatives to amendments proposed by the Senate in H.B. No. 986, H.D. 1, S.D. 1, entitled:

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO IDENTIFICATION DOCUMENTS,"

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 create a criminal offense of the sale or manufacture of deceptive identification documents.

Your Committee on Conference finds that the definition of "deceptive identification document" may pose a problem for tourists holding valid foreign driver's licenses or passports.

Your Committee on Conference has amended this bill by:

(1) Changing the definition of deceptive identification

document so that it applies to any identification

document not issued by a governmental agency that

purports to be issued by a governmental agency; and

(2) Making technical, nonsubstantive amendments for 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 H.B. No. 986, H.D. 1, S.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Final Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 986, H.D. 1, S.D. 1, C.D. 1.

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the managers:

ON THE PART OF THE SENATE

ON THE PART OF THE HOUSE
