Honolulu, Hawaii

, 2003

RE: H.B. No. 814

 

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. 814 entitled:

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO TRAFFIC INFRACTIONS,"

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this bill is to eliminate the requirement that the Judiciary provide postage paid envelopes for traffic infraction notices.

Your Committee received testimony in support of the measure from the Judiciary.

Your Committee finds that the cost of providing postage paid envelopes for traffic infraction notices is an unnecessary financial burden on the Judiciary.

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. 814 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,
