Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-Second State Legislature

Regular Session of 2004

State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committee on Public Safety and Military Affairs, to which was referred H.B. No. 2367 entitled:

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this bill is to provide greater protection to the communities of Hawaii, particularly its children, by, among other things:

The AG and the Department of the Prosecuting Attorney of the City and County of Honolulu testified in support of this bill. The Office of the Public Defender submitted comments.

Your Committee finds that if the reminder card that:

also contains the date on which sex offenders must appear in person to be photographed, it would help allay concerns that sex offenders could inadvertently commit a misdemeanor or felony by failing to appear to be photographed every five years.

Your Committee has amended this bill by changing most references to "legal address" to "actual address."

As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Public Safety and Military Affairs that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 2367, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 2367, H.D. 1, and be referred to the Committee on Judiciary.
