STAND. COM. REP. NO.598
Honolulu, Hawaii
, 2003
RE: S.B. No. 1131
Honorable Robert Bunda
President of the Senate
Twenty-Second State Legislature
Regular Session of 2003
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committee on Judiciary and Hawaiian Affairs, to which was referred S.B. No. 1131 entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO traffic infractions,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose of this measure is to repeal the requirement that a postage paid envelope be included with notices of traffic infractions.
Your Committee received testimony in support of this measure from the Judiciary.
Your Committee finds that the Judiciary spent $57,769 in fiscal year 2002 on postage paid envelopes that accompany traffic infraction notices. Your Committee further finds that eliminating the requirement that postage paid envelopes accompany traffic infraction notices may result in an increase in the public on-line payment option available on the Judiciary's website.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Judiciary and Hawaiian Affairs that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 1131 and recommends that it pass Second Reading and be placed on the calendar for Third Reading.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Judiciary and Hawaiian Affairs,
____________________________ COLLEEN HANABUSA, Chair |
