Sir:

Your Committee on Tourism and Intergovernmental Affairs, to which was referred S.B. No. 2183 entitled:

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this measure is to allow applicants for police officer positions to be non-residents of Hawaii at the time of their application.

Your Committee finds that this measure will assist counties in filling vacant positions and enable police departments statewide to draw from larger applicant pools for these critical vacancies.

As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Tourism and Intergovernmental Affairs that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 2183 and recommends that it pass Third Reading.
