STAND. COM. REP. NO.3368

Honolulu, Hawaii

, 2002

RE: S.C.R. No. 9

 

 

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.C.R. No. 9 entitled:

"SENATE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION EXTENDING THE REPORTING DATE OF THE TASK FORCE TO IMPROVE THE EFFICIENCY OF LAW ENFORCEMENT AND PUBLIC SAFETY AGENCIES,"

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this measure is to extend the reporting date of the Task Force to Improve the Efficiency of Law Enforcement and Public Safety Agencies from November 1, 2001, to November 2, 2002.

Testimony in support of this measure was received from the Department of Public Safety (PSD).

The 2001 regular session passed S.C.R. No. 90, S.D. 1, H.D. 1, requesting the PSD to convene a task force of law enforcement and public safety agencies for the purpose of exploring and assessing ideas and methods to make law enforcement agencies more proactive, efficient, effective, and responsive to public safety concerns and issues.

Your Committee finds that the Task Force has been working toward its goal in earnest, but that it was unable to meet its November, 2001, reporting date. Your Committee supports this measure to extend that reporting date for an additional year.

As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Judiciary that is attached to this report, your Committee concurs with the intent and purpose of S.C.R. No. 9 and recommends its adoption.

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Judiciary,

____________________________
