STAND. COM. REP. NO. 176-04
Honolulu, Hawaii
, 2004
RE: H.B. No. 2293
Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say
Speaker, House of Representatives
Twenty-Second State Legislature
Regular Session of 2004
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committee on Judiciary, to which was referred H.B. No. 2293 entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO INTERSTATE ADULT OFFENDER SUPERVISION,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose of this bill is to reduce unnecessary government cost by repealing from the Hawaii Revised Statutes (HRS) a duplicate provision concerning interstate compacts for the supervision of adult offenders.
The Judiciary testified in support of this measure.
Your Committee finds that:
(1) Chapter 353B, HRS, which codifies the new Interstate Compact for the Supervision of Adult Offenders, is intended to replace part III of Chapter 353, HRS, which codifies the old Interstate Parole and Probation Compact; however, the obsolete provision has not been repealed; and
(2) Reference to the repealed statute in the HRS needs to be amended to reflect the correct statute.
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. 2293 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,
|
