STAND. COM. REP. NO.1062
Honolulu, Hawaii
, 2003
RE: H.B. No. 1220
Honorable Robert Bunda
President of the Senate
Twenty-Second State Legislature
Regular Session of 2003
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committee on Judiciary and Hawaiian Affairs, to which was referred H.B. No. 1220 entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO THE HAWAII PAROLING AUTHORITY,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose of this measure is to allow the administrative secretary of the Hawaii Paroling Authority (Authority) to designate a representative to issue warrants of arrest for parole violators.
Your Committee received testimony in support of this measure from the Hawaii Paroling Authority and Government Efficiency Teams, Inc.
Your Committee finds that this measure will allow the Authority to issue and process warrants in the absence of the administrative secretary, who, under current law is the only person authorized to issue and process warrants. The amendment enables the Authority to issue warrants in a more timely manner.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Judiciary and Hawaiian Affairs that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 1220, and recommends that it pass Second Reading and be placed on the calendar for Third Reading.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Judiciary and Hawaiian Affairs,
____________________________ COLLEEN HANABUSA, Chair |
