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. 704, S.D. 1, H.D. 2, entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO CRIME VICTIM COMPENSATION,"
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 require the Criminal Injuries Compensation Commission (Commission) to appoint an executive director and administrative assistant, and to make appropriations into and out of the crime victim compensation special fund (fund).
Your Committee on Conference has amended this bill by reverting to the S.D. 1, except for exceeding the budget ceiling language, which makes the following changes:
(1) Makes an appropriation into and out of the fund of $450,000; and
(2) Deletes the repeal date of section 4 of Act 278, Session Laws of Hawaii 1999, which amended section 351-62.5, Hawaii Revised Statutes, temporarily repealing the requirement that not more than thirty per cent of funds deposited into the fund be used for operating expenses and salaries.
Your Committee on Conference has further amended this measure by inserting section 5 of the H.D. 2, requiring the crime victim compensation commission to report to the 2002 legislature concerning the fees collected by the courts for deposit into the fund.
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. 704, S.D. 1, H.D. 2, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Final Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 704, S.D. 1, H.D. 2, C.D. 1.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the managers:
