Honorable Robert Bunda

President of the Senate

Twenty-Third State Legislature

Regular Session of 2005

State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committee on Judiciary and Hawaiian Affairs, to which was referred H.B. No. 1745, H.D. 1, entitled:

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this measure is to exempt or repeal certain reporting requirements imposed on both the Judiciary and the State Council for Interstate Adult Offender Supervision.

Testimony in support of the measure was submitted by the Judiciary.

This measure eliminates or exempts the Judiciary from certain reporting requirements relating to administratively established accounts or funds, uncollectible delinquent fines and restitution, outsourcing of services, and other Judiciary programs. This measure also repeals the reporting requirements placed on the State Council for Interstate Adult Offender Supervision. Your Committee finds that this measure will reduce the production of legislatively mandated reports by two entities that often contain little or no new substantive information for the Legislature to consider.

Your Committee has amended this measure by making the effective date defective to promote continuing discussion on this measure.

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 H.B. No. 1745, H.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 1745, H.D. 1, S.D. 1, and be referred to the Committee on Ways and Means.
