STAND. COM. REP. NO.2486
Honolulu, Hawaii
, 2002
RE: S.B. No. 2633
S.D. 1
Honorable Robert Bunda
President of the Senate
Twenty-First State Legislature
Regular Session of 2002
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committee on Judiciary, to which was referred S.B. No. 2633, S.D. 1, entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO JUROR PRIVACY,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose of this measure is to preserve the privacy of jurors by:
(1) Excluding from public record jury qualification forms; and
(2) Requiring the redaction of a juror's personal information, addresses, social security number, driver's license number, and phone numbers prior to public disclosure.
Your Committee finds that individuals who serve as jurors are concerned that their private information may be disseminated publicly or become a part of the public record as a result of their service. This measure provides certain safeguards to limit public exposure of jurors' sensitive information.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Judiciary that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 2633, S.D. 1, and recommends that it pass Third Reading.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Judiciary,
|
