Honorable Robert Bunda

President of the Senate

Twenty-Second State Legislature

Regular Session of 2003

State of Hawaii

Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-Second State Legislature

Regular Session of 2003

State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committee on Conference on the disagreeing vote of the Senate to the amendments proposed by the House of Representatives in S.B. No. 1135, S.D. 1, H.D. 1, entitled:

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO COURT FEES,"

having met, and after full and free discussion, has agreed to recommend and does recommend to the respective Houses the final passage of this bill in an amended form.

The purpose of this bill is to authorize the deposit of certain district court fees into the Judiciary Computer System Special Fund.

Your Committee amended the bill by:

(1) Adding an appropriation section that appropriates $3.5 million from the Judiciary Computer System Special Fund in fiscal years 2003-2004 and 2004-2005 for the purpose of implementing the Judiciary Information Management System (JIMS); and

(2) Replacing its effective date of July 1, 2010, with July 1, 2003.

Your Committee finds that moneys in the Judiciary Computer System Special Fund will be used to implement JIMS which will allow the Judiciary to increase its efficiency by upgrading the court's outdate, fragmented, and overloaded computer system.

As affirmed by the record of votes of the managers of your Committee on Conference that is attached to this report, your Committee on Conference is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 1135, S.D. 1, H.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Final Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 1135, S.D. 1, H.D. 1, C.D. 1.

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the managers:

ON THE PART OF THE HOUSE

ON THE PART OF THE SENATE
