RE: H.B. No. 298
H.D. 2
Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say
Speaker, House of Representatives
Twenty-Second State Legislature
Regular Session of 2003
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committee on Finance, to which was referred H.B. No. 298, H.D. 1, entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO CORRECTIONAL FACILITIES,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose of this bill is to address the need for additional correctional facilities by directing the Governor to negotiate the development of private, in-state correctional facilities with a private entity on the undeveloped portion of the Halawa correctional facility site.
The Department of Public Safety provided comments on this measure.
Your Committee has amended this bill by:
(1) Directing the Executive Branch to initiate the development process of the new correctional facility instead of the Governor;
(2) Requiring soil tests as part of the development process; and
(3) Making technical, nonsubstantive amendments for purposes of clarity, consistency, and style.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Finance that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 298, H.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Third Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 298, H.D. 2.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Finance,
|
