RE: H.B. No. 2687
H.D. 1
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. 2687 entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO SUMMONS AND CITATIONS,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose of this bill is to allow information recorded on traffic summons or citations to be electronically maintained and transmitted to the district courts.
The Judiciary supported this bill. The Honolulu Police Department supported this bill and suggested amendments.
Your Committee finds that this measure will allow the Judiciary and the police to take advantage of new technology that makes the processing of summons and citations more efficient.
Your Committee has amended this bill by:
(1) Allowing this same new technology to also be used to process summons or citations relating to the Statewide Traffic Code; and
(2) Making technical, nonsubstantive amendments for purposes of clarity, consistency, and style.
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. 2687, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 2687, H.D. 1, and be referred to the Committee on Finance.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Judiciary,
