Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-First State Legislature

Regular Session of 2001

State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committee on Public Safety and Military Affairs, to which was referred S.B. No. 684 entitled:

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this measure is to raise the statutory fees that may be charged by sheriffs and police officers for various services, including service of summons and subpoenas.

The Hawaii Deputy Sheriffs Association testified in support of this measure. Numerous individuals offered comments.

Your Committee finds that there are many issues that need to be addressed, including how to determine fair compensation for the various acts, whether an hourly fee should be set in statute, and how this measure would be applied to those serving civil processes who are not deputy sheriffs of the civil section.

Upon further consideration, your Committee has amended this measure by:

As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Public Safety and Military Affairs that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 684, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 684, H.D. 1, and be referred to the Committee on Finance.
