STAND. COM. REP. 200
Honolulu, Hawaii
, 2003
RE: H.B. No. 1023
Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say
Speaker, House of Representatives
Twenty-Second State Legislature
Regular Session of 2003
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committee on Judiciary, to which was referred H.B. No. 1023 entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO TRAFFIC FINES,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose of the bill is to:
(1) Establish a permanent Drug Court Program Special Fund to become the repository of certain moneys; and
(2) Direct certain moneys to the Judiciary Computer System Special Fund;
during the 2003-2005 fiscal biennium.
Your Committee received testimony in support of the measure from the Judiciary and the Department of the Prosecuting Attorney for the County of Maui. A concerned individual testified in support of the intent of the bill. The Department of Budget and Finance and the Honolulu Police Department opposed the measure.
Your Committee finds that both the Judiciary's computer system and the drug courts are high priorities in the Judiciary. This measure will provide funding for both of these projects.
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 H.B. No. 1023 and recommends that it pass Second Reading and be referred to the Committee on Finance.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Judiciary,
|
