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. 1004 entitled:

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of the bill as received is to provide for enhanced sentencing of a defendant who uses a controlled substance to facilitate the commission or attempted commission of a felony sexual assault.

The Judiciary, the Hawaii Paroling Authority, and the Honolulu Police Department testified in support of the bill. The Office of the Public Defender provided comments.

After further consideration, your Committee has amended this bill by deleting its contents and inserting a provision to repeal the Interstate Parole and Probation Compact.

Your Committee finds that repealing the old compact will prevent duplication of services and costs when the new Interstate Compact for Adult Offender Supervision takes effect.

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. 1004, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 1004, H.D. 1, and be placed on the calendar for Third Reading.
